Photo Every Hour: August 21st

Expectation: School starts this week. Time to start getting up on a school schedule

7:00 Reality--we just got back from a weekend of camping and no one is remotely ready to transition to a school schedule

8:00 Wii baseball has been the screentime choice of the summer

9:00 I will never complain about their ability to play together outside

10:00 Time for a long-overdue car wash

11:00 Cutting it down to the wire to getting in a trip to the gymnastic open jump before school starts

12:00 Lunchtime! 

1:00 No naps for these fools, but I did start requiring twenty minutes of reading/quiet time before they got their second bit of screentime

2:00 Trying on some back to school shoes!

3:00 Apparently he likes them so much he forgot that we don't wear shoes in the house (also, I will never tire of listing to him--or his brothers--play the piano. Getting this was the best happy accident that ever happened to us)

4:00 Squeezing in as many trips to the bowling alley as we can before our Kids Bowl Free passes expire at the end of the month

5:00 I think this is the best we've ever had flowers do (probably because I've actually remembered to water them regularly!)

6:00 Dinner choice courtesy of Garrett tonight--he found a recipe he wanted to try in a cookbook he got from the library, so we did! I don't know that it will make it into our regular rotation, but the boys all did a great job eating the Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps

7:00 Snacks

8:00 Trying to get lights out a little earlier to help ease into back to school

9:00 Trying something new this year--in order to stay on top of all my tasks, each day has a different designation. So I introduce you to Muffin Monday!

10:00 We definitely got sucked into Netflix's "Quarterback" series. So fascinating to see all the behind the scenes stuff in the life of a quarterback!

11:00 Do you know who's not doing a good job getting back into a school year schedule? This girl

Ugh. One of these days I'll actually do better about getting to bed earlier
