Catching up is hard to do...

I know it has been at least a month since I have blogged. I really have had good intentions to be more consistent and more often, but time just escapes me these days. It seems the more I get done, the more I get behind. I used to be really good at time management (or so I thought). I guess lately I have just had a little more on my plate than I can chew! Although we did make it through the first couple weeks of school, I concede - I cannot do it all! I try my best, but sometimes it's just not good enough. Awww, if only we didn't need at least a couple hours of sleep a day! Even though I've tried that too -it's not working. I know I shouldn't complain, but today I am just plain tired. I was up all night working(best time to work without interruption) and gone all day just working and getting stuff done. Maybe tomorrow I'll get some sleep, and I won't feel so grumpy! In the meantime, here's what's been going on in our little life:

We survived the first week of school - yippy!- a normal daily routine! Brynlee is the one having a hard time adjusting to her playmates being gone!
Ainslee started kindergarten (Can you believe that?) She loves, loves it and her teacher, too. The first day of school they only went for a little treasure hunt just to get them used to their classroom and centers, etc. Her first full day was actually the 2nd day of school.
Craig is the big 1st grader now who gets to go to school ALL day and have lunch at school! Two of his best "friends that are girls"(Addie & Emma) are in his class. Stud muffin!
Brynlee started her "rina" dance class and is sooooo cute in her leotard! (with her little belly)

Kylee started 3rd grade and is taking jazz along with ballet this semester (instead of musical theater) and auditioned for the Nutcracker today. (We find out tomorrow if she makes it)
My how time does fly! I hate that 3 of my 4 kids are in school. They grow up way too fast! But they were excited to go back!
