Hard to believe that summer is coming to a close, and school is right around the corner. The summer itself was pretty productive, I went into it with a list in my head of things I wanted to do with the kids: Bay Beach, Fond du Lac Pool, Movie, Few weekends up north, Holiday Acres, Paul Bunyan, Wildlife Zoo, Mini Golf, Milwaukee Public Museum, and the Milwaukee Zoo.
I'm happy to report all but the Milwaukee Zoo was visited, and I still have hope to make it there in the next two weeks.
The last month I've been able to take in more time with the kids, and less of my schooling. Taking 1 laid back class vs. 2 super intense was like night and day. I think I needed this time to re-charge and psych myself up for the upcoming school year. I will go hard at it for two full semesters, and then I will be able to scale back to 1 class next summer and wrap up my degree before the start of next school year.
The kids are starting to gear up for school, Alex (ahem, and I am) is ready for school to start-the wheels of sibling rivalry have reared their ugly head the last couple weeks so it's a sign that a much needed break from each other is welcomed. Laura is excited, she's officially starting 4k and Alex a big 1st grader! I'll probably be missing the noise in the house come next month, but I'll get Ains all to myself for 3 days a week which is a pretty foreign concept around here!
The kids are starting at a new school this Fall, so while we are excited-I think we're all (except Laura) a little apprehensive about what this new change will bring to our lives. Please be thinking positive thoughts for us in the upcoming month!
