Due to my recent vacations and a holiday, for the first time in over a month, I had to work five days this week...what is THAT about? I would like to say that I got a ton of stuff done in that “extra” day of work, but in reality, it was just an extra day of chaos that left me exhausted by the end of the week.
Ava started baton again this week, so our Tuesday evening was occupied with that activity and a dinner out. On Wednesday night, Rosemount had a “ladies night out” event, so five of us neighborhood friends got together and enjoyed the shops and wine of our town. We finished the night off with a dinner out on a patio, enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. Thursday night was the first PTO meeting of the year, so we’re truly back into the swing of the new school year.
This weekend has been mostly family time. Scott worked on Saturday, so the kids and I hung around the house, and then after his nap, G and I visited the Parade of Homes houses in our neighborhood. We’ve watched these homes being built for months, so it was neat to be able to see the finished product. Scott’s longtime friends had a booya last night, so he visited them, while the kids and I stayed at home (eating hot soup on a day where a heat advisory was issued didn’t sound good to me!)
Instead, we watched “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!” and both kids loved it! We ate popcorn and snuggled (aka Mom napped) on the couch. By the time Scott got home, I was trying to watch “Murder on the Orient Express” but I was too tired to stay awake for the whole thing. I had the joy of waking up at the end so it appears that I know how it ends. Oh well. I’ll try again another day!
Today will be another busy day. G is doing really well in his k-prep class, so we need to practice using scissors and drawing shapes this morning. In addition to finishing up the weekend chores today, we’ll be meeting up with Grandma Deb and Grandpa Whitey for an early dinner (they are in town for a wedding.) Scott’s sister will also be stopping by, so hopefully we’ll have a chance to visit with her before we leave for dinner.
I had a chance to review all of the pics from our fabulous trip up north with Grandma Karen and Grandpa Doug, so I will plan on posting those soon. We’ve had such a great summer, with so many fun adventures. I have some ideas for family time this fall, so we’re looking forward to welcoming the autumn season with new outings!
