Missing Summer Time Ease

This week was the start of our normal school/winter routine. It is the first full week of school for both boys, & Garth is working his lame winter schedule (Wed & Thurs off, days Fri to Tues). As it is, I've hardly been home the past week or longer. And this week is not looking promising either.

Today, Anson had his school pictures! Such an adorable little man! However. I forgot that today is Show & Tell. Oops. So I've had to write it on my calendar so we don't forget again! That's all Anson gave me about school. Every time you ask him what he did at school that day, he'll say either "nothing", or "I don't know". Such a helpful little guy! Then he came home & played on the computer, & had 3 plates of supper. I'm in some serious trouble as the kid gets older. I wonder if they have a Hollow Leg Food Fund??

Today was Ryden's first Parent Monday. It was a sad affair today, since Tara wasn't there :( Now that her son is in kindergarten, she's moved on, so it was weird! Last year, Tara & I (and the boys of course!) went every single Monday. So it's weird to go & not have her there! I miss her!! Also, this year, because there is a new teacher, it is run a little bit differently! This year, when we get there, we get to go to the library to take out a book for the week! Ryden was so excited to pick one of his own!! And then we went to his class to do his craft (we colored & made little frogs today), and then play with the toys for a bit. He loves it, so we'll try to get there every week this year! Tomorrow, he has school, and his school pictures! Yay!

The rest of this week will be a gong show. Tomorrow the boys both have school, and I work while Ryden is at school. After that, I have a hair appointment at my friend C's house. I'm taking Ryden with me, because he is buddies with her son, so we thought it would be a good time for them to hang out!

Wednesday, both boys will be in school, and after Ryden is done at 11:30, we're going to Tara's, so Ryden can play with Owen. And I can get my Tara fix in, since she doesn't come to our Monday morning thing. Wednesday night, I have my scrapbook splurge group. I need to remember to get some pictures printed!! Eeps!!

So far, Thursday & Friday are looking pretty quiet. One of these weeks, Garth & I will have to head to the city (most likely PA) to get Anson's hockey equipement & Ryden's helmet. We have to do that before October 15. I think maybe we'll go on a Wednesday, so that Grandma can pick the boys up from school for us. It will be nice to go, just the 2 of us! And since Garth's birthday is in 2 weeks, we'll get his birthday gift (or part of it). Metallica (yipee skippy) realeased a new CD on Friday he wants, & he refuses to wait for Christmas, so now I'm down 1 stocking stuffer!!

Speaking of Christmas, yesterday I pulled out my handy dandy notebook (orgnaizedhome.com is an AMAZING site BTW, and has helped me a TON, until my printer crapped out!) & got my Christmas prep list. I also peeked at the cleaning lists & updated mine in my binder as well. I love my binder. It's so helpful!! And they have new pages to print, so I really need to get this printer issue resolved!! I love the Christmas list, each week you focus on 1 area of your house to get "holiday ready". It's awesome! I will have to play catch up, however, since I started 2 weeks late! But I'll get it done!! And I can't wait!!

So, there is my update, I guess I should head off to bed now. Night!!
