what happened to summer???? Here it is Labor Day again, and school starts on Tuesday. We did have a wonderful summer though- several nice vacations (thanks Mom and Dad!!!!!), fun beach days, pool trips, hanging out with lots of friends and family- it was all a blast! I thought moving would consume this summer, but it didn't. I feel like we were settled in a day (thanks Boeves!!!!) and it wasn't nearly as overwhelming as I had imagined. The builder/realtors have our old house looking so cute. They repainted our bedroom and bathroom, cleaned the carpets and staged the rest of the downstairs with Parade of Home furniture. It really looks great! At this point, it won't matter if it sells or not probably because I am sure if it sells, it won't close before our builder buys it anyway. But I am sure he is hoping it sells!!!!!
We have a few things left to do in our new house- light fixtures still aren't here, so we are hoping for those next week. Sadie's bathroom mirror got painted last week and that is adorable! There are a few odds and ends to finish up and some furniture still to buy, but we love it here! The pool has been a better perk than I imagined.
The weekend turned out to be busier than expected- as of my last post, we really didn't have any plans. Thursday night we ended up going to the pool to swim after Cobe's football practice. Lisa and Lynette and their kids came over to swim for awhile too (or was that Wednesday night????- my days run together!) Friday we spent the afternoon at the pool with Jen and Lynette and their kids (plus a few extras). Chase came over and spent the day with Cobe and Dimitri and a friend of Bailey's came as well. It was a fun day b/c the pool was busy with kids so it keeps them well-entertained. Ryan got off work early and got to spend some time with us there unexpectedly. Friday night, the Bell kids came over while Lynette took some pictures and once again, they were all entertained by each other. Makes for a happy me! :-) Saturday Brooks woke up miserable with allergies (he had been bad off all week, but during the night Friday night he cried b/c his eyes hurt so badly), so we took him to the doctor Saturday morning. The Dr. gave him some eye drops that have helped tremendously. I was super appreciative because the Dr. didn't make us go get a prescription but gave us samples instead. It was a new doctor in the practice, and I really liked him. The drops almost worked immediately for Brooks so I was glad to see him not as miserable. He still has itchy, watery eyes and all of the other allergy symptoms that go along with ragweed, but at least he can open his eyes now. I finally made it into work for awhile after dealing with that in the morning and got some stuff done for this week. Saturday night was a fun night at the Boeves- great food, a fire, and kids running amuck all night. The guys and kids (and Lisa too!) played some guitar hero and then we headed outside for the fire.
Today we slept in- we have got to get back on some sort of schedule. Neither Ryan, me nor the kids got up until after 9:30!!!!!! Church was at 10:00, so we missed that. We had a leisurely morning and got ready to go to MJ's and Jim's for lunch and boating. We had a great time kayaking, boating and going on the paddle boat (or is it a pedal boat???). The kids did their usual jump off the pontoon and swim into the dock from across the lake. I missed out on that b/c I was on the kayak with Sadie. Now we are back home and enjoying a quiet evening. The kids are whipped! Sadie already fell asleep beside me for awhile, but she is awake again now.
Tomorrow brings....no plans once again for the moment. I am sure we may at sometime hit the pool one last time. It closes sometime this week, but I know we won't have time to go after tomorrow with school, work, football and soccer practices at night. Cobe is supposed to have practice sometime tomorrow as well, so I guess he and Ryan will head off to that at some point.
Well..... I am hoping I will love my new work schedule as much as I think I will. To be done for the day before 10:00 will be nice. Ryan getting all 3 kids off to school in the morning worries me a bit, but I am sure they'll get into a groove, and it will go fine... as long as he remembers to wake up! haha
I hope everyone has had a great weekend so far and has a great start to school this week!

oh my summer is done! I do love fall but the summer is my fav! Sounds like a busy, fun week.. just the way it should be before heading back to school. I'm sure Ryan will do okay - although, I don't know if I'd trust either too readily either. :) Good Luck this week! Say hi to Renee if you see her.

I'm not ready for summer to be over, but we've had a beautiful Labor Day weekend! Dimitri is so ready for school to start on Tuesday. He doesn't have practice tomorrow night, but has it Tues, Wed, Thur. Very Busy--but lots of fun. He just loves football. He has his first scrimmage on Saturday against Byron Center. Good Luck with your new schedule.
Good luck going back to school - hope you get a great class!
