The end. The beginning. The in between.

This week marked a few milestones in our summer. Plus, it is now August, which means that "getting ready for school/work" mode has officially begun. I am looking forward to my new work schedule and am anxious to get started with our new routines.


1...So far, we have purchased O's backpack and lunchbox for kindergarten. He was excited to choose his own. Target's selection of character backpacks was limited. Fortunately, they had one of his favorites...Angry Birds.

2...My oldest daughter closed her play this week. I am planning to do an entire post on my first experience as a stage mom, but am waiting until I get the official production photos. We were only allowed to take photos in the lobby after each performance. I realized after that I got a photo of her with everyone except M or me. Oh well! The above photo is A and my mom.

3...O and I changed his calendar and reviewed all the big changes that will be happening in August. New classes at church, starting kindergarten, and brushing his teeth two times every day. (Not sure if I've ever posted about his teeth-brushing battles, but they were huge. Brushing two times a day, with only minimal supervision is progress!)

4...The girls spent some time with my mom this week, which left O and I some mommy/son time. One morning this week, I walked (or ran, depending on his speed) while O rode his bike. Exercise for me, fun for him.

5...Even though the temps have cooled a bit this week, meaning they are now in the high 90's, the kids still enjoy spending time in the water. My parents have a small pool, which suits them just fine.

How did you spend your week?

Sounds like a pretty good week to me :) What will your new work schedule be? I had an interview this week for a paraprofessional position within a school district near my home, working with special needs children. I'm hopeful that they'll call and confirm that I got the position.. the waiting is the worst part!
