School Days

Well, we are officially in the 3rd week of school already!! I think I am having a harder time adjusted to the new schedule then my kids are! I have been so tired ever since we've had to get up earlier! I feel like we are constantly running around. When I said that I was ready for routine, I think I was very WRONG!! I miss sleeping in a little more and not having to be anywhere! Although it is pretty nice when it's just me and Natalie on Tuesday through Friday afternoons! I should probably be napping with her some of the time to combat my tiredness, but of course I don't. This is going to be a very short post today. We are getting ready to go to the library, to get out of the house. We are going to have a busy week this week. Kaitlyn, TJ and Natalie all have check ups and we are getting TJ's speech evaluated. I'm hoping he qualifies for county help so we can get his speech up to speed with his classmates. But we shall see!! More on that later. I have a bunch of pictures to share, but don't have the time to post right now. Be back later to do so!!

Almost Time For School To Start!!

So the summer is coming to an end and school is about to start. It starts in 6 days to be exact!! Right now as I type my kids (except for Natalie) are having a sleepover at Grandma and Pops house with their other cousins. So the grandparents have 6 kids there now! And then when the pool opens they will all go together to the pool with Pop! I think this will be the last group sleepover for the year! My in laws are saints, seriously! On a not so good note, 3 out of 4 of my kids, plus the hubby all have colds. And I went to bed last night and woke up this morning with some signs that I may be getting it now too! I am loading myself up with Vitamin C to hopefully kill it before it takes complete hold! I really hope it works.

I am so ready for school to start! I love my kids and will miss them while they are at school all day, but I am so ready for routine again! My kids are excited to start school and are ready as well. I will only have Natalie home with me for 4 afternoons a week. Chris is going into 5th grade, Kaitlyn is going into 1st grade and TJ is starting his 2nd year of preschool and will be going M-F from 12pm-3pm. So I'm glad I'll get some time with just my baby! Also, my house has suffered so much this summer! It really, really needs a good deep cleaning!!

Anyway, I better go. I think Natalie is awake! Here is a cute picture of her from over the weekend when she feel asleep on my hubby!
