School is Cool

It’s baaa-ack! School is now in session. Hopefull we’ll al be able to settle into a routine by the end of this week or the next. CaseyJ is full swing into homework each day and reading, Z Man has yet to find his homework challenging but I have no doubt it will be, he has much more responsibilty that comes with first grade. Feels like a bit more work for mom too and the getting up an hour earlier is getting old already. Z Man seems to have adjusted to a more rigid scheduled just fine, and is just happy as can be when I pick him up each day. He and his daddy went to their first Cub Scout meeting the other night and he’s going to be a Tiger Scout (CaseyJ has decided to sit this out for a year). Football practice started (flag football) and they have their birthday party coming up in two days already!

Things I’ll miss about summer:

• The boys always wore crocs or flip-flops so now my white laundry loads have doubled with all these socks they keep insisting on wearing.
• Not getting up at 6am.
• Trips to the library and our Thursday arts and crafts day.
• Watching the boys swim and have fun in the water.

Things I won’t miss about summer:

• Dirty, grimy feet from those crocs and flip-flops.
• Sweaty, smelly little boys.
• The boys waking up at 6am when I wanted to sleep until AT LEAST 7am.
• The heat, did I say the HEAT!
• Washing a lot of swimming towels on an almost daily basis.
