It's September!! Though the summer air still lingers, fall activities are beginning. Gators football is on. The girls and I are doing crafts. Saturday afternoon is upon us and it's time to type this blog then sit and relax with my kids. I am very thankful for the way school has started. Getting out of the house has become routine and the kids even have time to straighten up and veg for a bit before we leave. Eric loves first grade. He says it's amazing. Alayna was brave going to PreK, and then when the second week arrived....decided to fuss all she could. Yes, Lanie, you have to go everyday :( We have seen the stomach virus and a head cold tear through our house. So next week can only get better! Cailin and Ella have been great at home...letting Mommy get work done. They play together quietly. Ahhh! Yes, quietly! After school is always a challenge and still is. Pure insanity breaks out when Eric gets home. He is good about doing his homework and having a snack. After that, it becomes loud. Very loud. I have attempted to make "centers" for the kids to play in, so they can have time to do things themselves.....a craft, the computer, books, drums... But our time is best spent running wild outside with games and races and bikes. Our busy evenings are just beginning. Soccer hasn't started yet. Hoping it starts to feel like fall before it starts.
