Where are my brudders? Part 2

Today was a special day for the Kovach boys.....First Day of School! What does that mean for the little girl at home?????

Control of the TV for the first time in almost 6 weeks! She could watch her two favorite shows: Sesame Street and Calliou without having to tell someone to turn their computer game down or to stop playing their drums! She sat with her bowl of nice cold watermelon in the recliner enjoying her quiet time!

Then she realized that she hadn't seen Phillip today! Here came the question? Where's Phillip? He's at school today! Oh ok...back to the watermelon! She knew that Stephen was at school because she got up to go "catch the bus" with Stephen! We stood at the bus stop and waited with him! I almost got teary eyed when I told Fred "Do you realize that in just two short years, we will be standing here with Hope to get her on the bus for school?" Then we will have an elementry student, a middle school student and a high school student!!! That just about brought me to tears!!!

When the bus came, the lady asked if Hope was starting school today!!!! I quickly said no...in a couple of years. Happily was able to walk back across the street, we sent daddy off to work and realized...."HEY us girls have the entire house to ourselves once again!!!!" It was nice! We did a little bit of cleaning, watched Sesame Street and Calliou, ate watermelon, cleaned a little more, ate lunch, read a story and took a nap! It was nice!!!

They will all start filing back into the house shortly! And so ends the quiet day for the Kovach girls!

I will have to get my camera out and take a picture of the new hairdo for Hope!!! We went on Monday to have back to school hair cuts done! I decided to get her hair all evened out! She had about 3 or 4 different layers of baby hair in there! I'll wait to tell you more when I get the picture up!!!

I YUV ICE CEAM!!!!!

I have to share this story as it is very cute! Phillip is in marching band and they were having a parent preview night this past Friday to show their families that how much they had accomplished during the week at band camp.

Each family was supposed to bring a dessert to share to go along with the ice cream! So Hope asked me why I was making bownies (that's how she says brownies). I told her so that we could take them to school to go with the ice cream! So she asked when the brownies were done could she have some "ice ceam". I said no, we will have ice cream at school.

So off to school we went that evening. As soon as we got to school, she asks "Can we have ice ceam NOW?" I said no, we have to wait until the band comes. So when the band came on to the field, she asked..."Can we have ice ceam NOW?"....I said no Hope. Once the band in finished playing, then we can have ice cream! I do mean as soon as the last note was cut off...she came running over and said...not so quietly by that point.... "WE HAVE ICE CEAM NOW!!" I told her yes and she didn't hear the rest of what I was going to say...she just about took out grown people for her ice ceam!!!

I asked her if she wanted cookies to go with it, she looks at me, rolls her eyes and says no mommy I just want ice ceam!!! So needless to say she loves her ice ceam!

We went to do some back to school shopping and we saw some friends so she told them that she got to have ICE CEAM at Phillip's school! That I do believe was the highlite of her day! If you notice even on her shirt in the picture, it has an ICE CEAM cone on it! On Saturday, we went to the mall to get some back to school clothes for the boys since I can no longer just buy them clothes because they are so tall and seem to keep growing! After we were done shopping, we went to Chick Fil A and you guessed it...had an ice ceam cone! For the first time, Hope didn't want hers in a cup...she wanted a cone like everyone else! For the first time, she actually ate the cone. She thought that was neat to be able to eat the cone! She has never wanted to eat the cone before!

And yes, the band did a wonderful job!!!!

Where are my brudders?

Mom, Where are my brudders? That has been the question of the morning for the last two days!

Stephen is at camp and Phillip is already at band camp Hope! She has been a little lost these last two mornings!!! Stephen left for Kids camp early Monday morning and I don't know that she was fully awake to know that she was with me when we dropped him off!!! Phillip is at marching band camp this week! He has left the house by the time Hope wakes up these last two mornings! I think this is kind of preparing her for what happens in 22 days!!!! SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION!!!!! I know that she will be a little lost once school starts back because she has had a wonderful summer with the boys being home! She has enjoyed the frequent wrestling matches she has with Phillip, watching Cinderella for the millionth time with Stephen and the laughs watching each other be silly!

She has enjoyed having them play in the back yard to play in the little swimming pool although some mornings were so chilly I'm surprised that she and Stephen were even in the water! But I always got It's not really that bad mom!!!!

It seems like this summer is coming quickly to a close!!!! But not done yet!!!! There are still adventures to be had!!! So off we go :o)....
