Sweet boy loves to climb into our bed after we tuck him into his. The 3rd kid gets away with so much more, but he's so cute!!

Start of the Week Stuff

After all weekend alone with two of them I was really in need to a break and some quiet time! So, here I sit, not being super productive, but that's okay. I did get my menu done, and the grocery shopping has already been done, so I'm okay with sitting for a little while.

Menu:
Monday- pasta with meat sauce
Tuesday- homemade pizza
Wednesday- something EASY and fast!
Thursday- enchiladas and beans
Friday- ?

Couple more

Just a couple more of the boys wrestling from tonight. :)

P365- 256

Trying to get them to pose for a picture at M's soccer practice. They started wrestling instead, and I like this better than anything posed.

N decided to fold some laundry without even being asked.

To-Do's:
Monday- holiday (I should have done more to get ready for the week, but I didn't)
Tuesday- 1st day for the big kids, errands, errands, and more errands in town, 1st day of 2 different pick-up times for the older kids, and guitar lessons for R. I think I spent most of the day in my van.
Wednesday- 1st day of preschool for N, a few errands, soccer for M, play practice for M
Thursday- A here
Friday- A here, birthday party for the big kids
Saturday- soccer game for M

So, a super crazy week. Having them start school after a holiday weekend really threw me off, I was not ready (we didn't even have any bread for sandwiches the first day). Now I'm just trying to throw together N's birthday party by Sunday (again, not at all ready for this!).
Busy summer, busier fall. lol

Anyway, here are their first day pictures. :)

M & R's first day-

Nervous 2nd grader-

N's first day-

P365- 248

First day of school, 4th & 2nd grade. N starts preschool tomorrow, he just wanted his backpack too. :)

Funny side note, the older two are wearing the same size pants and shoes now. M is not happy that her younger brother is catching up to her (he, on the other hand, thinks its pretty cool).

P365- 247

Goodbye summer! We did almost everything on our list.

P365- 246

We spent a lot of time like this over the summer!
