Back to business

We are slowly getting back into the swing of things. I even put aside my denial that summer is over, and registered big girls for ballet, and little girl for gymnastics. We've been walking to and from school everyday.
I've been struggling a little bit with not having a schedule. And being sad summer is over. And the weirdness of having only one at home. Like lunches and naps and normalcy have been out the window. Monday caught up with both of us. She was in an evening time out and fell asleep. Wake up call for me to get on top of things.
On Tuesday we had Ellie and Adeline over to play. We weren't sure how Adeline would do, but she was great! She was a little unsure in the morning. We decided to go to the park and the lone grey cloud over our neighborhood opened and a warm rain came down for about 30 minutes.
We finally made it to the park. The girls played and Adeline fell asleep in the swing. We stayed till lunchtime. 
This little chic was good all day! We were all so surprised! Addie had her first piano lesson of the school year. She was so excited to play beauty and the beast for sister Nelson. It was a fun surprise for her teacher.
Chris has been working Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturdays. On. Tuesday he went and mowed for Brenna's grands. He gets out of school at 1, so that's nice. He still hasn't decided which colleges to apply for, but we're working on it. 

The girls love getting postcards. These ones are from auntie allie's trip to Philadelphia.
On Wednesday we had our preschool planning meeting. We've got 9 kids that we split into 2 groups. We're starting this week, so it should be good! We also had daisies and A days and scouts. All the things that have made me sad summer is over, and the craziness of the school year is beginning. 

On Thursday it was Delaney's turn to go play at the ainas. I spent the day organizing my thoughts, girls schedules, dinners, lunches, etc. it was nice to have a day to myself. 
That evening the bigs took the littles on a date to salsas and the park. Love.
Delaney has never had a piggy bank, but she found Lexi's, so we facetimed her and asked her for it. She said yes! Delaney wanted a pic with the piggy, but not holding it. She's silly.
And happy!
