Out with the old, in with the new...
You would think that would be a title to a post for the New Year. Or at least for spring cleaning or something. I guess this is "Fall" cleaning. Katy has made the move to UNT, therefore making room for MacKenzie to get her first real "own" room. Sydney & Mack have shared a room FOREVER, although even when a room is free they sleep in the same room by choice! So now since there is a "free" room (hardly with the cost of college!) we're moving all the girls around, repainting, selling/buying furniture, new bedding, etc. Fun but comes with a price tag - doesn't everything??? I will post some pictures as we get settled...

Busy summer, now into FALL...
It was a busy summer, and now we're into a new season - FALL! YEA! I have to say, I'm ready for something besides 100 degree heat :)
The girls have started their new year with a bang. Katy's off to UNT. It's really strange to be the parent of a "child" in college. Strange and pocket-wrenching. Sydney is in 8th grade - the oldest grade in middle school. Kind-of like being a senior on the pre-teen level. She's hot stuff - just ask her. MacKenzie is a middle-schooler now in 6th grade. She's adjusting well. And little Miss. Landry is holding her own as princess of the house. She goes to school on Thursday and dance on Monday. What else do you need? She's quite a little conversationalist.
Sydney and Mack aren't playing softball this season, so we're a little lost with our weekends. With no drill team events, cheer event and no softball - it's a little weird having SO much extra time. Not that I'm complaining, I'm just somewhat use to being busier. Mack is playing volleyball, but it doesn't start until next week. It's given us some time to get use to school, which has been nice. Sydney decided not to cheer - but then was sad she didn't try out. She's looking for her next "thing" and not really knowing what that is.
We're planning Halloween (reading up on Raggedy Ann and scarecrows) planning a ski vacation (WOO-HOO) looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas (I think it all has to do with the cooler months).
Tell me what you and your are up to....
