Paper Clips

          The kids are back to school and we Spivey's are in a nice routine. I am so proud of all 3 of my boys. Billy has taken a new detail as supervisor and loves it. I have always said he is definite LEADERSHIP material. He is such a smart guy. Tanner loves second grade. He gets to do so much this year. Dance, Drama, and TV production are just a few of the things he does every week. He also started Cub Scouts and is looking forward to the adventures ahead. Holden goes everyday this year!! My Big preschooler is officially in Pre-K and could not be more excited. Monday was his first day and as I was holding his hand and walking him to the car after pick ups he was telling me all about his day. "Mommy we got to do play doh, circle time, and kitchen. Also our teacher told us all about the paper clips mommy." Me, "The paper Clips? What about them?" Holden, "Mommy you know the Solar System. There is a Paper Clips today." :) Me, "You mean the Solar Eclipse?" Holden, "Yes mommy THAT!" HAHA He is so funny and I love his little words for things. The other day he kept saying "There is a moss in the house." HUH??? He meant wasp. He will figure it out soon enough. We did have the special glasses and got to watch the Solar Eclipse with them and it was really neat. The boys were impressed too. I am loving so many things about this year with my boys. Last Saturday we went to Blizzard Beach with my dad and rode all the big rides and swam. It was such an awesome day. They are big and independent this year. They love their friends. Tanner and I still read every night sometimes for more than an hour. It is one of the most relaxing parts of my day. He loves it too!! He is such a tender and curious boy. I am so grateful for this life I have been given. I was running the other day through Ocala like i love to do. :) and  I saw 2 different church signs that stuck out to me. The first one said Things in life that are worthwhile are difficult. The other one said if it's not moving you towards God then cut it from your life!! Both have stuck with me. Both say a lot. God has a plan and I am so thankful I can turn it all over to HIM. Back to school is awesome too so now I have time to blog and read and run and other glamorous things like clean. Living the DREAM people. Just over here living the dream. :)
