All of August

August FLEW by.  The whole summer flew by.

But at least, the only thing we did in August was chill and get ready for school (appointments, shopping, etc).

Kids went on adventures with Grandpa and Memere (Boys to train museum, Girls to American Girl paradise). 

We went to Edventure Family night ($1/person every 2nd Tuesday of the month from 5-8 pm - it's a madhouse, but my kids are young enough to still love Edventure, but old enough to not get lost so easily). It was fun.

Can you spot the 5 kids that are ours? :)

School started. Fun ended. 

Just kidding...we'll try to still have some fun. But we are very structured now. Especially with 2 schools! I needed that structure back. (And Alee needs my 1-on-1 attention for one more year on an hours/day basis like she doesn't get during the summer.)

First kid in Middle School. AGGHH (actually, it's not so bad so far...maybe)

He's a pro at lockers already! (at least unlocking it...I haven't reviewed its organization yet)

Carolyn's 1st day was actually the 2nd day. She was sick the first day of school. That's never happened for us before.

I'll post our September pictures later. (I really need to pull the camera down more, but I have been so consumed with trying to keep up with all I'm supposed to remember and keep the house clean that I forget to have fun and take pictures and sew and read.)
