Exhausting

 I was wrong! 

Originally, I was not super happy that we delayed the start of our school year by 2 weeks. But man, am I ever glad we started with a 4 day week instead of the full 5. 

I am exhausted. And I am not even the one going to school! Suffice it to say, my kids are feeling the tired deep into their bones. It doesn't help one bit that the weather has been cold and dreary all week. They really only had outdoor recess one day. 

Next week it's supposed to warm up to normal and be sunny, we are all ready for that! 

But so far so good! 


M and her friends at Recess.


C's room! I think they're actually the full 6 feet apart or very close to it! 


M's room. She said her favorite thing about the first day was rest time. This kid hasn't taken a nap in years! But she liked to not sit in her chair and not wearing a mask. 


Trying on her cardigan that came yesterday. I wasn't prepared at all for the cold week. I had summer clothes all ready to go! I still haven't gotten M leggings yet for under the jumper. So there's been a lot of sharing of school sweatshirts and hoping the rain kept them inside. (It did.) 

The week has been good though. It's nice to find our rhythm again, even if we are all so tired. 

We are ready for a cozy family movie night. I may make pajamas mandatory so we can all just snuggle up and relax completely. 

Have a good weekend!

  1. How precious is she???
    And yes. I remember that first week.
    All the anticipation leading up to the first day.
    And then there is the second, and the third...
    By the end of the week, my kids were exhausted.
    The cooler temps will make for your cozy jammie time perfect!
    Enjoy!
