Lately

Lately it feels like we are just surviving.....

We are making it from one day to the next, one week to the next, and somehow September is three quarters of the way over! But as far as feeling rested and relaxed and prepared....not so much. So here is what all we've been up to lately! 

Kate has had her round of yearly appts and some quarterly ones this month! Exhausting! But Owen got to tag along to the Ophthalmologist and he managed to get his own sticker and pair of shades out of the deal! 

Sat am IHOP breakfast! As cute as this pancake was he couldn't even eat a third of it! 

The night before the first day of my new Beth Moore bible study Kate mentions that it's Constitution Day tomorrow and could I please come to her school to watch the assembly?!?!?!? Seriously!!! Constitution Day???? But she is a tween and it's a rule that if a tween asks their parent to show up, the parent better show up! It won't be long before she's purposely not telling me about this stuff! :)  Oh, and I was 30 mins late to my bible study! But I am glad I got to be there...and snap that one pic on the sly so she wouldn't be mortified! :)  

Work has been busy! Here are the 3's and 4's in Chapel this week. They were so cute! 

Owen got to experience treasure box for the first time this week because of all his good behavior! Go Owen! 

Savannah has been working on writing a friendly letter and she wrote this to her teacher Mrs. Preston although she calls her Mr. Peterson in the letter! It's so sweet! Why can't she be that nice to me?? She seriously told me this morning that my hair looked ridiculous and was I really going to drive her through the car line in my pajamas? 

Savannah is quite the artist though......she made this for Owen

And this for her Papa T :) 

And just this past Friday I got my first call from the school! Mike got one a couple of weeks ago and both incidents were involving falls from the monkey bars! This happened twice in PreK as well. One fall required an x-ray! Well when she got off the bus she was complaining of dizziness, blurry vision, and confusion! :) Apparently she was reading the symptoms of a concussions on her way home! Hey, at least she is reading! :) 

I am really not sure if or when my life is going to be normal again. Normal might be a thing of the past! I really anticipated that having all three kids in school would make life easier! So far it's just been a lot more work but I am praying that we hit our groove soon or I might start hitting the bar! Just kidding.....maybe :)
