1 week to go . . .
Monday, August 25, 2008
1 week to go! The kids go back to school! They are getting mopey about it, but I am very excited. We have bought the school supplies, packed them in the backpacks, have the schedules. Caleb has Freshman Orientation on Friday, and we have parent orientation on Thursday night. I am trying to get them up earlier this week to start adjusting their body clocks back toward normal time, not night owl time that they have been on all summer.
Both of them have been re-doing their rooms. Abby has painted hers (raspberry pink and bright orange – I know, doesn’t sound good, but it looks terrific) and Caleb is contemplating lime green and a bright blue. I have had them go through and shovel out their rooms, and they have done a great job of sorting through 7 years of stuff. Cleaned out old clothes that got stuck in the back of the closet, broken toys and games, etc.
The weather has been perfect, really it is hard to believe that it is August in Illinois. Very few days of heat and high humidity. Overall, the summer has been great weatherwise.
Anybody got a great book they have read lately? I am in the middle of one that is making me think. After I finish it, I will post about it.
