And Then there was 1

 
 
Dear Diary,
 
I have been waiting for my house to become a bit quieter, the grocery bill to become lower, my sanity to come back to me a little bit...BUT, maybe I'm not!
 
 
Today was the big day, we woke up early, made sure everything was packed and ready, loaded the cars up and off we were to take my middle son to college. Oh yes, ladies and gents I did just say college, I know you all know where this is heading!
 
I was doing great, enjoyed the 2 hour car ride (had my T-tops off) and it was a beautiful day! We got there, of course he was on the 3rd floor. We arrived on campus and started unloading the cars, WOW did he have a lot of stuff. The men were working on putting together furniture and little odds and ends and myself and my sons grandma started putting clothes, food, little stuff away and doing a bit of decorating. All was still good and well. Once we were done my sons grandparents left and then it was just Cory, myself, my middle son and my youngest. We hung out for a while talking, went to a meeting about football, had dinner. It was really an awesome way to spend his first day on campus with him!
 
Now it comes time to leave, we each give him hugs and kisses of course, and each of us take a picture with him in his dorm, piece of cake! We then proceeded to drive him to the hall he had to be at before we left. He gets out of the car, I wave tell him I love him, see him walking up the sidewalk. 2 minutes down the road and the tears won't stop coming!
 
 
Finally I calm down and Cory lets out a big yell joking around "only 1 more to go" I then look back at my youngest son who I now see is in full blown tears! What happens next you may ask? My tears start flowing again! I calm down, enjoy the ride home, sit down to work on the blog, happen to look up and see his picture, what do I do? I start crying yet again!!!
 
Now for those of you that haven't had kids leave the nest, it is almost devastating. No matter where they are going or how happy you think it will be it just breaks your heart! My oldest son moved out last summer, he has been on his own for a year and its still strange not seeing him in the house, now today...that means I only have one left! I need to figure out a way to keep him from growing!!!
 
 
Go Muskies!!!

DIY Tangled Inspired Paper Lanterns

  I am trying to pick some of the Disney movies a lot of kids love, for the week ahead. I love Tangled, I think the way they did it was great! I was always a huge Beauty & the Beast fan and while that will forever be my all time favorite the newer Disney movies are just awesome with the animation and the songs. I have a whole Disney playlist on my phone for Celeste and you guessed it Tangled is on there, that is one of her favorites as well. I found this DIY and knew I had to blog it that way when she is older we can make them together. Here's what you'll need: construction paper toilet paper rolls scissors glue crayons Create: First, put construction paper around the toilet paper roll. Measure the construction paper and cut it to fit to size. It doesn't have to be perfect. On some of the rolls you can decide to add extra decorations. Like the Rapunzel sun and swirls before you glue it on to the toilet paper roll. Remember this ...
