First Week of School

Yay!  It's finally the first week of school.  My workdays are drastically shorter now, which is much needed after this long, hot summer.  However, the kids are so busy that it seems like we have a whole days worth of activities to fit into 3 hours.  Busy bees!  I know it will be easy to keep myself busy this week, but I'm nervous about getting bored.  I need to find a solid hobby.

Monday I slept in since it was my first "school day" workday.  This morning I did get up at 5am and go to bootcamp.  Although I hate the workouts and especially hate having to modify everything so I can be by my mat (I HATE putting my hands on the concrete), I do feel sooo good having worked out today.  I'm glad I went.

Pete leaves Thursday night for Dallas for work.  Hopefully he doesn't have to do a trial up there next week.  I'd like him to get to come back on Saturday.

This past weekend we went to Austin to visit my mom for her birthday, and also because Stacy was in town visiting!  Stacy made us a delicious vegan dinner that we got to enjoy with the Keeles and Becca.  It was lovely and I'm so glad I got to see my dear friends.

We are looking forward to a few upcoming trips.  New Orleans (September), OU weekend (October), Alum weekend-- hopefully (October), and Dallas for a wedding (November).  I wish I could announce that we were going on a grand relaxing vacation for our anniversary but sadly we are not.

Hope you are all staying cool in the crazy heat!

I'm not neglecting you, I promise.
Summer is finally winding down.  There are 8 days until school starts again! Yippee!  Shorter work hours will be wonderful.  I am excited to get a little more time to myself.  I won't have an excuse to skip Camp Gladiator (I may have skipped all of last week... Hey, I'm exhausted!) and I will have more energy when I am with the kids. 
Tonight we babysat for MC/MK's cousins.  What a difference!  There are twin 5 year old boys & a 10 year old boy.  It was so much fun playing cars with the two youngings... Not so much fun trying to get the elder off the iPad.  We are also house sitting tonight - hanging with this guy (pictured).must. sleep. now... goodnight.

Just checked out the weather for the next few days. I have to admit I am glad I'm not in Dallas right now! I do wish I would rain and bring some cooler weather. 

I need a dress to go with these new shoes.
