Ha ha -- Back to school more like a full month now. No wonder blogging has dropped from my radar like a 10-ton boulder. School is killing me, as is the new routines of new childcare, etc. Working 3 days/week this year, but I went and signed up for some extra stuff as well at work (what the *&^$!& was I thinking???!) That means extra meetings, both during the day and in the evening. The kids seem to be adjusting fairly well, although Big Sis often falls asleep on the way home at the end of the day and then wakes with the personality of a hibernating bear! Mommy and kids often hit the hay around the same time each night...
The result! No big crafty/house/DIY projects. Just working on some small knitting items. I have been thinking about sewing, haven't actually done any though.
We leave for our big Upstate NY/NYC trip in less than 2 weeks!!!!! 5 years for hubs and me! (+ 2 kids, 2 houses, 2 cars...) We'll stay upstate for a few days with Grampy/Grammy then head down to the city for a few days on our own. Garment district here I come! Then on the weekend it's back up the Hudson to Rhinebeck for NY Sheep and Wool Festival. Dream trip come true! Do I wish I had a Rhinebeck sweater to show off like all the other ladies? Well yes, but I'm going to be okay with just going for the first time ever.
Because every post needs a picture. Big Sis got to show her first sheep this year at the county fair at the end of August! It was adorable and hilarious. Thank goodness for a well-behaved sheep that we borrowed. "Betsy" or whoever she was, was more like a pony to Big Sis' 3-year old size.
And this is the first day of 3's Preschool! This kiddo L-O-V-E-S school. All summer she was asking when she got to go back to school. Nobody took Mommy's picture on the first day, but I'm pretty sure I was a lot less excited to go back to work/school even though I do love the kids. Did I mention that as of this morning I have 28 second graders?? Say what!? That's a lot of 7-8 year olds.
