Summer went by way too fast! Now I am preparing my daughter for 2nd grade and my middle child for Kindergarten. I think this is most difficult for me. This will be my first year teaching at Concordia without having one of my kids in class with me. On top of that, Eli will stay in our home with his fabulous babysitter... he's always been at the church with the babysitter. So we have a few changes this year. They are good changes, but will take some time getting use to.
A few days ago I took Hannah for her big haircut and then we picked up my Mom and spent a morning shopping for school clothes and next years summer clothes... love those clearance racks! I didn't spend more than $3 on one piece of clothing (except for Hannah's first day of school outfit) and we shopped at Old Navy and Macy's. Good clothing! I should lay out all the clothing I purchased for less than $80 and take a picture to post. It is quite impressive! I love such good deals. So the kids are ready for next spring/summer except for shorts and shoes.
Tonight we head out to the Lentil Festival street fair. Should be a good time. The kids have a lot of fun and I take some Excedrin before we head out! It really is fun... where else would we have a celebration for lentils?
We are enjoying these last few days of summer break. The sun is shining and we are sledding down grassy hills, playing on the swimming pool, sliding on the slip n' slide, biking, scootering, eating popsicles and enjoying time without a schedule. Such a lovely time.
