But enough about ME. Let's talk about YOU....

What do YOU think of ME?

Juuuust kidding. I'm very much done talking about me - feel like it's all I've been doing lately! And I feel like I have nothing uplifting to remark about myself for tonight, so I will abstain from crabbing about anything. Ouch, your resounding cheers and applause are deafening!

So, let's talk about something else. How about... the weather? It's been gorgeous these last few days and no signs of stopping. It will be perfect weather to do a little grilling tomorrow, so I'm excited for that. I can't wait to sink my teeth into a nice turkey burger! Or two. Mmmm.

Riley just turned 5 last week and I officially feel ancient! Truth be told, though - he really has grown up so much and I know that he's just learning more and more every day. I am SO excited for him that he gets to start Kindergarten in September! Okay, and a little excited for me that I get to go school supply shopping for him. :o) Unfortunately, he's been dealing with some growing pains - they even wake him up at night sometimes. I wish I could take it all away for him, but I know it comes with the territory, and again - I'm so excited for him that he's getting older and bigger.

Elliot had a growth spurt and all of a sudden looks way older to me. He says these really comprehensive sentences filled with idiomatic expressions and little nuances of the English language- it blows me away. He has started telling me many times daily that he loves me, and he's been trying to be really careful around my bad knee that I fell on. He will double check through the day that he has straight which is my good vs. my bad knee. So sweet.

My boys are SO different from each other but both such delights.

So that's it - I will end the weekend on a high note. Will this be my last baby free weekend? Who knows. In the meantime, if you have tomorrow off - enjoy. And I will speak with you soon!
