Well as it always seems to happen in the summer I was away from my Blog a little bit. Between my summer school (Microbiology UGH!) and of course summer activities I hardly had time to breath much alone sit and type anything out.
So where to go from here?
Monday the 16th
The first day of school for the kids as well as my middle guys 6th Birthday! I can not believe he is 6 years old and in 1st grade. He is a very YOUNG 1st grader seeing as the cutoff for school was September 1st. One of his friends is actually 11 months older than him. His first day at school was a little emotional for him with it his birthday and many of his friends from his last class are with different teachers. Tuesday went well for him but it has been a long week for him.
Back from Vacation
Last week we were on Vacation. We rent a cabin in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and spend the week actually relaxing. We spent time biking, swimming, fishing and just relaxing. The kids absolutely love the cabin and the beach. This year was one of the hottest years up there so we all spent a ton of time in the water. There are many families up there that come each ear so we see a lot of the same people.
- Swimming -There is a nice raft and the little kids started playing king of the raft, then the older kids got involved then the High School/College kids got involved then I got involved. I was able to hold my own against a group of 18-23 year olds that are in a LOT better shape then me, that being said I paid for time as KING the next day…OUCH!
- Fishing – I got my own gear and everything this year since my 10yo really enjoyed fishing and the 6yo was getting started. Well 10yo after about an hour of fishing stopped wanting to fish. (Great) 6yo on the other hand had a blast fishing off the pier and catching pan fish. He caught over 100 fish easily! 5 perch and the rest Blue Gill. I had a Small Mouth Bass, 5 Perch and a ton of blue gill. I had a 2 foot Northern Break free at the pier as well a a large Walleye. Would have loved to bring in the Northern, but less then a couple feet away it splashed free from the hook!
- Swimmers Ear- I came back from vacation with swimmers ear. Not fun at all… I felt like my ears were going to pop! 4th day on drops and it is now under control. I have a new respect for the little ones when they get ear infections!
Broken Washer
Sunday after getting most of the laundry done the Washer Broke! Motor went. We thought about replacing, but will just fix for now. The cost to fix is better then replacing it and we really do not want to have to RUSH out and buy a washer. Now we can take our time and find a Washer and Dryer we want at a time when we want!
Quiet…Too Quiet!
The house is so quiet now that the two older boys are in school. 2.5yo and I are getting into our own routine, which will change when I start my job at the Hospital in a month. For now he and I are enjoying a little piece!
The 5
- Lego Harry Potter - What a blast of a game to play. 10yo and I have been playing it a lot together and apart. Fun family game!
- Clash of the Titans – Watched the remake this week. Fun movie, but rather different then the original. The FX were amazing and the cast was really good, but it was a little short on the story telling.
- Ready for Work – I am starting to prepare myself for the over nights. Will be a big shock at first to be on that schedule, but am looking forward to it. Work and still be home with the boys!
- Housework – I need to get the spring cleaning done… Before FALL!!
- School! – I start classes again soon. Will be an interesting time getting through class and a new work schedule. Might be a balance of time I am not used to. Granted Summer school was a tough balance this semester should be a breeze!
I am Back Taking It One Day At a Time!
