Day in the Life: August 21st

7:00 It's fine. We're definitely not still getting our backpacks ready less than an hour before the first day of school

8:00 First Day of School hack: Avoid the chaos in the parking lot and bike

9:00 Super excited to deal with a broken dishwasher

10:00 I have the best friends who got me champagne and chocolate to celebrate (or mourn) all the boys heading off to school (for the record--it was mostly celebratory)

11:00 Running errands solo... Definitely a new experience

12:00 Although now I have to get all the groceries in by myself instead of having a little helper

1:00 Also nice to get stuff taken care of at church with a little tagalong

2:00 Headed to pickup!

3:00 Snacks were definitely needed after the first day of school

4:00 Attempting to recreate an art project Connor did in his classroom

5:00 Back to school means back to soccer which means early dinners so Coach and the player(s) can get to practice by 6:00

6:00 Knocking out a PTO project while the boys get some more biking in

7:00 LEGO fun

8:00 Time for bed so we can be ready for school again tomorrow!

9:00 Darrell hard at work washing alllll the dishes (and using the broken dishwasher as a drying rack) while I'm hard a working making more dishes dirty to make some treats for church

10:00 Not having a working dishwasher really slows down our evening routine

11:00 Cheers to a great first day of school for all the boys!

Off to bed and ready to do it again tomorrow
