Schools in, Tuesday....

And tomorrow is open house! Wow, this summer break flew by! We had a good time, though, going to Victory Conference Center a couple weeks ago and to Missouri on the week of July 4th. It feels like we drove around quite a bit.

The weather has been exceptionally beautiful, 70's and low 80's with low humidity. I've been very thankful, even though we still haven't had much rain. I even turned off my A/C which I don't think has ever been done this early on the summer. We could have an Indian Summer, tho and have to turn it back on.

This weekend we did back-to-school shopping. We mostly got shoes and clothes, I already bought school supplies last month. So, the kids are ready to go back in that regard, just not ready for the end of vacation.

Jacklin starts middle school this year so that will be a change for her.
I did get my ultrasound on July 24th and we found out its a boy! We're all so excited so now the shopping for boy stuff has begun. Ken took Jacklin out for a "father/daughter date" when he was home this last week and they did some shopping for little guy, lots of Ohio State gear. He even got a onesie that says "poop on Michigan" for the Ohio State/ Michigan rivalry that my family may not know about.

Sylas has 3 days to finish online school or else...he becomes a Freshamore, and has to drop his fun classes and do the freshman courses over again. It's been a good lesson in "life's not fair", because our flash player wasn't working properly, then the Internet connection was off, then we were out of town...so for 3 weeks nothing got done. Now he has to cram and get 50% of the work done in 3 days. I've been trying to help him when he lets me. And giving him lots of incentives. He is playing soccer this year, a 1st year walk on, so plays JV but is also on Varsity. He is a pretty good player and it's been fun to watch him scrimmage. 1st real game is Tuesday.

Aiden is also playing this year and I'm so proud of him for branching out more. He is also taking choir!! He has a beautiful voice and I know the choir teacher will be thrilled to have him. Hardly any boys are in choir anymore.

Well, it's late and this baby mama is tired after a busy weekend. I will blog more faithfully after the kids are in school...I mean what else am I going to do all day???
