Welcome back and happy Tuesday! These pictures are going to seem boring after our vacation snapshots but such is life. We're adjusting to a new normal balancing school and sports and work schedules. Hopefully after a couple weeks things will settle down and seem more routine.
Take a peak at last week:
Day 225- Monday, 8/13/18
I'm back at work after vacation going through hundreds of emails and fixing problems that cropped up right and left while I was gone. I can't wait to get away from this computer and do some bench work--it's way more fun.
Day 226- Tuesday, 8/14/18
Brandon has squeezed in a little more play time before school starts by building the Lego New York City Skyline he got for his birthday. He really wants to visit the actual city some day and see it all in person especially since he's been fascinated with the Empire State Building his entire life.
Day 227- Wednesday, 8/15/18
Here we go-- it's the first day of the new school year and I have 2 high school kids again. Brandon is a Freshman and Justin is a Senior. I know it will be a very busy year starting with today. I didn't even get pictures until after school. Brandon's was around 2 pm and Justin's wasn't until about 6 pm after cross country practice. He had a super long 12 hr day starting at 6 am for senior sunrise and ending at 6 pm after practice.
Day 228- Thursday, 8/16/18
What's for dinner tonight? "Chicken on the Bone" as my kids affectionately call it--super easy to make and feeds them for at least a couple days.
Day 229- Friday- 8/17/18
TGIIF! This boy has been working super hard all summer and will continue to do so over the next month until he returns to school. He's also getting super tan and is always happy to come home and relax first thing with his pup. She soaks it right up too because he spoils her and she knows it. They'll really miss each other come fall.
Day 230- Saturday, 8/18/18
I just picked these two up from a great day volunteering at the animal shelter. It was Brandon's first real shift and he was happy to be able to work with Justin. The teen group there got the chores done quickly so they could spend most their time playing with and socializing kittens. Now Brandon's hooked.
The breeze has picked up to help cool the 100 degree temps down so we're enjoying the backyard while grilling dinner and drinking some refreshing adult beverages. Sadly the weekend is almost over but there is a 3-day weekend coming up soon so we're looking forward to that.
All done! Thanks for stopping by and see you next week as we plug on and try to master this crazy 3-ring circus that is our life..
Happy back to school! So exciting to start high school!
ReplyDelete100 still, yikes hope it cools off!!
We don't usually see a real cool down until October. September usually has some super hot temps as well. At least it's dry heat. Humidity makes hot weather sooo much worse as we felt first hand in San Diego.
ReplyDeleteHappy start of school! A senior! Agh, girl, I feel your pain. That is a hard year to do! Good luck! So busy, so many lasts, and so much fun too! Glad you have your college boy there for a little longer. I lose 2 of my girls this week! Have a great week!
