Time 4 School

The kids started school on Thursday, Aug. 16th.   This week was extremely busy with Phil and I going back to work(prof. dev.), attending 5 Open Houses (one for the 3 in school and Phil and I had our own at our schools too) in the evenings, and then Andrew had football, baseball practice and Clare had softball practice.  Can you say OH, MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!  THANKS to my mom who stayed with us this past week to help watch the kids while Phil and I worked.  She was also a HUGE help by watching Ruthie when we were gone in the evenings.  The bonus thing with was she cooked 4 complete meals for us each and every night and made desserts too.  We were totally spoiled this past week.   Not sure how we are going to make it next week.??????????

Our plates are going to be FULL this year.  The kids are in 3 different buildings and are in more activities too.  Olivia will start volleyball on Monday and will start her two dance classes in Sept.  Andrew is officially done with baseball, but has started football.  Clare began gymnastics in the summer and is continuing during the school year.  She also tried out for competitive softball and has practices during the week, along with tournaments on the weekend this fall.  Poor Ruth, she will be dragged around to all of the kids activities.  It is a good thing she LOVES to play with other kids and make friends easily.
