almost over...

as we enjoy the beautiful afternoons playing outside it is so hard for me to believe that this school year is almost over....audrey's last year of preschool, almost over....then, in june she will be five and grant two (that's a whole other issue!) and in august - Kindergarten! wow...where does the time go?? i cherish each moment because once she gets in "big school" i know it is going to fly by.....five, very short, years ago i was preparing for her birth ~ this summer i will be preparing her to thrive in her new school....unbelievable....

living it up on the playset.....basking in the sun of a gorgeous spring day....not a care in the world....ahhhh, must be nice :)

while the kids were playing and i was photographing yesterday...brett was working....poor thing...getting the bushes ready for some fresh pinestraw.... whoohoo! though we probably wouldn't be so diligent about our landscaping but a few weeks ago we were visited by several hundred flying pesks ~ termites!! oh the joys.....we have poked, prodded, treated, retreated and taken care of this horrible issue....now we are making sure we are not leaving anymore "bait" for the monsters outside ~ like woodchips, siding too close to the ground, etc....the pest people are so whatever about this whole thing...."yup, those are termites. we'll fix it and treat 'em."

no. big. deal.

WHATEVER!!

I don't do bugs!!

they are disgusting in each and every form, with the exception of lady bugs and rolypolies :) i wanted so badly to say..."next time you come for surgery and we are about to slice open your abdomen, it'll be no big deal!" see, i don't freak out about surgery, blood and guts and they don't freak out about bugs ~ to each their own!
