Returning from vacation means hitting the ground running...getting sh...tuff crossed off the list and not looking back. Being done with floundering and just making our dreams happen. Fall is a big time for me to clean house and get it organized (spring, not so much. Too muddy.)
We're expanding the backyard, after accomplishing as much as we could ourselves we called in the big guns...I can't put into words how happy this makes me. After only a half day work it looks amazing.
The middle school tour. He saw his wing and is excited about being with his friend Kyle and about having the good lockers. We also talked about choosing our seat wisely for the first few weeks to keep distractions at a minimum in order to make a good first impression on his new teacher (who he'll have for home room for three years ). I'm so happy he will be learning to navigate his own schedule and that the school didn't feel "that big". He's ready. I can't believe we're here. There are no words to keep a sappy mom from melting on the first day of school. That's that.
We went shopping for school supplies today. X3 kids getting bigger and needing more, it adds up. I'm glad we put off getting new clothes(and a new car, lol) for a while. Glad we have the most important gear all set, the backpacks, winter coats and boots. Bogs are the way to go. I love them. They had fun taking ownership of their lists and getting it all organized and in their bags.
Getting back into running with friends...hardly feels like running when we have so much talking to do! But I'm feeling a little sore trying to keep up with a marathoner. I'm happy I don't have the gym membership bogging me down anymore and am feeling inspired to try some new classes and maybe even some swimming and yoga when the weather turns cooler (which will be soon!)
Looking forward to gathering, celebrating and catching up with friends, family, seeing two new houses, play dates, a day on the boat and totally soaking up the last week of summer. Here's to finishing everything on the bucket list.
