We're back at it! The routine has been re-established and it's sooo good. Now that Ava's older, we made a few changes in her school routine...she is now responsible for packing her own lunches and snacks every day. After packing a lunch every single day for her this past summer, I am quite happy to pass the torch along for this task!
Our little G has now taken to getting up earlier, and likes to hang out while Ava and I are getting ready in the morning (previously, he would hang out in his room and sleep until I came to wake him up after Ava already had her breakfast.) That change has also altered the morning routine a bit...Ava is now getting most of her breakfast ready, while I'm tending to G and getting him ready for the day. I'm grateful that Ava can take care of that part on her own, but I do miss the one-on-one time that it gave to us each weekday. We just need to find another time slot for that to happen!
Ava had a great first week of 4th grade. She loves her new teacher (she told us that Ms. Z likes to tease!) and has enjoyed playing with some new friends in her class. No homework yet, which surprises me. I'm convinced that she had the most homework in Kindergarten! I keep telling her that as she gets older, she will have homework, so she should enjoy this time now!
G also moved to a new classroom, and has a new teacher. I'm not sure if he actually changed the type of class he went to, or if this was just a physical room move (I'm aware THAT did happen!) It's usually a little crazy when I drop him off each day, so I don't always get the chance to ask basic questions like that...
A baker has been a consistent future occupation for a while now...

We had a fun Labor Day gathering last weekend...good food, fun friends, and the kids had a blast playing games and being really, REALLY loud. G finally got to bed around 10:30pm that night! It was nice to take a break and relax for a bit...and I'm convinced that we should always have three-day weekends. It's the perfect amount of time to get everything done, yet, still have a chance to relax and enjoy the time off.
Scott and I enjoyed some drinks on the front porch until the storm came in last Sunday evening.
Side note: I'm going to try to keep this succulent alive in the garage this winter...I love the yellow and orange blooms that open and close each day!
I wanted a snack during the week, and this turned out to be perfect...goldfish and wine!
We have new construction happening in the southern part of our neighborhood, so we checked out the equipment during our walk last night. SO BIG!
In comparison, this weekend has been way too short. I'm already looking
forward to next weekend...I just want to skip right over this work week!
