Chaotic Bliss

Good bye kindergarten, hello 1st grade!

 It was over in the blink of an eye.  We had our one and only summer vacation in Boise (before the boys even finished school), came back so the boys could finish school, my sister and her family came and went, we bought our first house, and now it's officially summer vacation.  Time flies when you're having fun and we've been having a ton of it.  My sister's family left this morning and the depression settled over the house as their absence sunk in.  The boys were instantly bored and begging me to let them fly to Utah.  Ethan dramatically locked himself in the closet after posting a sign on the door complete with skull and crossbones that read, "Ethan is not coming out until he is dead!"  Finally, someone who understands how I feel every time I say good bye to family.

saying good bye to family is always sad

As soon as my beloved Mac gets back from the shop I'll post pics of the 1st annual Mark Spjute Family Reunion.
