Ali's Field Trip

I went with Ali's class to the local historical farm.  They have a really neat and really old tree that everyone likes to play on.  The bark is polished smooth.  I took a lot of pictures because, well, Ali looked so cute climbing the tree.  She is growing up so fast.  We are almost to the end of Kindergarten.  She will be gone all day next year, Josiah will be in middle school, Kate will be a big 4th grader, where does the time go?  I read a quote in a parenting magazine that said (referring to parenting) "The days are long, but the years are short."  That is how I am feeling tonight.  It's been a great day with everyone gathered around but tomorrow the time will speed back up. 
I always get a little sad on Sunday nights (which means I shouldn't blog on Sunday nights because I get sentimental and sappy- consider yourself warned).  I have for as long as I can remember.  Sunday night meant that I had to go to school soon.  It meant that I wouldn't see my sisters and their families for a few days.  It meant that my dad would go back to work.  It meant that the weekend was 5 days away.  That's life and, really, that is how it is suppose to be.  It made me appreciate the weekend (and my family) all the more.  Happy Sunday night.  Like I always tell Kate, only 5 days until the weekend begins!

  1. Sunday nights are depressing around here too--the weekend should really be extended to include Friday--I mean who is productive that day anyway?

  2. Almost done with kindergarten! It sounds like a fun field trip. Only 3 days until one very long weekend. :)
