Mama of 2 P's in a Pod

This is the highlight of my week! Kris and the P's came down to see me. Kris is exhausted, the city is a hot mess and he's been busy on the firetruck and the ambulance. So while daddy slept the girls and I walked around camp today. I can not wait to go home! Mostly because I am ready for a couple summer days with these girls and with Kris.

That does have me a little on edge, but I am still able to take in the scenery and the quiet time here. Quiet before the chaos of going back to the classroom and back to the hustle and bustle of the school year. Both girls are ready for school to start. But what a bittersweet year! Big P is in 6th GRADE! Little P is right behind her in 5th! Time seriously needs to slow down some. It's ridiculously fast. They are both downstairs in our building this year.
