9/7/08

1. Sunday morning--I love relaxing, making breakfast, and reading the Sunday paper.

2. VERY productive shopping trip--got almost everything for Mom's bathroom!

3. Though I couldn't go to the Indian Buffet with my knitting friends, I made Indian food for supper. A veggie curry and homemade naan:

4. First tutoring session of the year, but only one of the two I will usually have on Sunday, so it was an easy way to get back into things ;)

1. M's first soccer game! Although they don't really keep score at her age, her team definitely won ;) They were very cute to watch, and it was also apparent that there are a lot of kids on her team with older siblings who have played soccer.
2. T's first game of the season with his new team. They tied, and played VERY well together! I like his coaches, I like his teammates, and I like the parents of his teammates!3. Having contractors work on Mom's house. No--having CAPABLE contractors work on Mom's house! :) I love doing work there, but it was really nice to be doing something else and to come home to what others had completed!

9/5/08

1. Yummy Caribou coffee (too much of it, actually) to start the day.

2. Got lots "done" on/for Mom's house--the basement foundation bracing and radon system put in, plus some shopping to look at tile and get ideas.

3. C. got a part in the local musical (Big). She is VERY excited.

9/4/08

1. We finally got RAIN! After the floods this spring, we got almost no rain, so the steady rain all day was much appreciated.

2. MOM'S HERE!!! (not moved into her house, but all her stuff is down and she's here physically and she'll stay with us until her house is ready)

3. Overall lazy day with doing some housework and laundry catchup. It was nice to not have to be anywhere for most of the day (other than kid drop-off and pick-up).

9/3/08

1. Everyone still woke up (relatively) easily and got where they needed to be on time. T. survived his first day going to the Middle School, and made it back to the Elementary School, too.

2. Coffee out with the 8th grade moms. Talk about a rough week for me ;) It was nice to reconnect with some women I hadn't really seen since May.

3. C's tryout for "Big: The Musical". Very cute to see her practice, and she did a great job on the big stage belting out "Mama Mia" for her audition.

9/2/08

1. First day back to school. Everyone had a GREAT day! Pics:
2. A bunch of moms went out for coffee after drop-off. We laughed about it because it was all a bunch of very active/involved moms and by the end of the morning, we'd all recruited someone or been recruited for a volunteer position of some sort (PTO, PTC, girl scouts...).

3. Supper out at the mall with the kids and their friends' families. We stayed until almost 8:00... YIKES! But the weather was nice, the kids were getting along (and having fun), and I love all the parents of my kids' friends. I'm so lucky to live in this community.

9/1/08

1. Last day of summer vacation. I'm somewhat sad, but I think it's time for school to start up again for ALL of us!

2. Fun lunch at the neighbors--leftovers from last night's cookout!

3. The trailer with all mom's stuff arrived, so the time is VERY near when she'll truly be my.neighbor.mom!
