This month has flown by! We have been so busy that we have not had time to catch our breath. We leave by 7 and get home between 4:30-5:30. Then it's time to cook dinner, clean, get stuff ready for the next day, give the boys a bath, put the boys to bed, and start the whole process again. We don't have a free weekend in sight, and I have no idea when I will sleep in (later than 7:00). I am trying to convince myself that the busyness is a blessing. It means we have jobs, we have people to see, and the boys have activities. It is really exhausting though.
Jackson had his first homework this week. If this is what our future holds, we are in trouble. Last week they focused on the letter A. He had to find a picture of something that started with A, cut it out, and glue it. He also had to practice writing his name. It was torture for everyone.
Jackson also had his first soccer practice. He was very clingy at first and did not want to do anything. Brooks and one his friends were everywhere. He did better once Brooks and I left. He has practice twice a week. Games will start after Labor Day.
We also took a day trip to Charleston for Reed's first birthday party. We stopped downtown for hot biscuits at Callie's and lunch at Fleet Landing. The boys loved the boats. We walked down the dock, and Brooks was wild. Both boys ended up getting soaked in the fountains. Jackson started it, and thenBrooks wanted to join in. He ripped the brace off and handed it to me before running in the water. It was so funny.
We had a great time at the party. The boys were excited to play with Brynlee, and they loved running through the sprinklers. Poor Brooks (and Jackson too) have missed out on so many water activities this summer. Thankfully they slept the whole way home.
We are celebrating Brent's birthday today and trying to clean up the disaster that is our house.
