Everyday, this is a reoccurring shocked statement from the lips of my babe. Today, was again shocked that he in fact only had one week left until school starts. We have finished all of the school shopping for Deryck (minus 1 winter jacket). Ashley is all signed up for pre-school and conveniently Deryck will as join her at the same place for before/after school care. We stopped by his school and learned the name of his new teacher, Ms. Seeley; and found out that his classroom will be upstairs (eek, that means he is really getting big) in room 206. We started working on math, reading and spelling for a few hours everyday to get tin the groove of things and going to bed around 8:30pm every night. Even Ashley has started this routine and she has been passing out before Deryck (I am shocked by this) and sleeping through the night. She spent one night in her bed but is back in our bed because she is scared of the dark. She's sleeping a full night so happiness and baby steps...right! We are struggling with one part of the back to school routine...getting up in the morning. We have all grown very accustom to sleeping in alittle late in the mornings, and we are all struggling with getting out of bed, having breakfast eaten and being dressed ready to leave the house by 7:15. In fact, struggling is not a strong enough word; we are failing horribly. So, we have few more mornings to learn this new habit and we should be good for a strong school year. For now, I hope we get a few more days of sunshine and warm weather to play in and fine tune our routine before next Wednesday and that dreaded....first day of school.

What...One Week Left!

So you're the one who asked for the sunny weather! :)
Theo and I were playing outside today (and getting really, really hot in the direct sun) and I wondered who had placed the order for this hot, end of summer weather! Enjoy your last few days. We've been missing Andy lots since he went back to work on Tuesday.
