If I do one thing well, it is NOT keeping up on this blog. Summer is over in the Bloom household and we had a really busy, but honestly, wonderful summer. I can't really do justice to two months of past happenings in one post, but I'm going to do my best, so here are some of our summer memories:
-Lots of family time, complete with sporadic and unplanned sleepovers. Nothing is sweeter than watching 3-5 kids' faces light up at the suggestion of camping out on the floor under piles of blankets, falling asleep to cartoons. We got to do this with our kiddos and our oldest niece/nephews several times throughout the summer. We also had our annual Six Flags trip with our nephews which always makes me have to suck up the "I'm getting to old for this" attitude!
-We got to meet two precious nieces. Khloe and Alice are as cute as can be!
- We have held true to our "we will take a family vacation out of the country each year" mantra. We traveled to Atlantis in the Bahamas with the kiddos and Mommom and Papa. It was so much fun and I really needed that Bahama lack-of-time relaxation.
-I ran three 5ks over the summer and the Color Run was a blast! Now I am training for a half marathon and while it's tough, I am enjoying the challenge (sort of).
-I had two bouts of poison ivy--lots of fun. I took so many steroids this summer that I should have no problem training for an ultra-marathon!
School has started and we are back in the swing of things. That just means everything is crazy again. That's normal around here.
