Happy Tuesday!

So after our crazy heat wave... it cooled off enough on Saturday for us to have a fire. And it was so much fun! We had smores with the kids before they went to bed and then Husband and I sat out and chatted the rest of the evening. 

Watching a fire and chatting is an excellent use of time. I will still happily watch Suits with him any time but it was a nice change up. 

The rest of the weekend was spent working on M's Halloween Costume. Yes, we started early. It's going to be EPIC and I am SO excited about it. 

Yesterday was our first Monday rosary of the school year. I am always the first person down. And it was nice to be back to routine. 

Well except Labor Day will get in the way. And then the following Monday is a school-in-service day. But then we will be back in routine! 

This gal here is giving me a run for my money. So much drama and opinions. 

But she's also been so creative. Look at these little dresses she made out of paper? They're adorable. 

It's amazing, I was driving home from a board meeting last night and that sun was a lot higher and blinding me. But when I snapped a pic... it doesn't look like much at all. 

I could wax poetically about how life is all about perspective but I don't really have anything astute to say about it. 

Today, finally on Day 5... I sent two kids to school in actual uniform! The first two days were so stinkin' hot that C was told to wear his gym uniform. Friday is a gym day so he had to even if it wasn't hot. And so was Monday! 

It's been quite a while since I asked him if he knew where his belt was. And even though he opted for the absolute wrinkliest polo in his collection (I swear I wash, dry, and fold his clothes nicely.) it is still nice to finally feel like we're back in action. 

Both kiddos had homework yesterday. (Easy homework! Like spelling lists and 6 review math problems to turn their brains back on kind of homework.) And even through the drama of the first few days and the homework and everything... I am really excited that things are really back to routine!
