The summer is winding down. Only a little more than a week before Megan and Jared will both be in school full time. I have mixed feelings. Part of me is SO excited for them to go to school. Poor Kate gets dragged all over town. It seems like every time she falls asleep, we wake her up to buckle her into the car seat. I am struggling to get things done - I have a class that I've been trying to get finished all summer. If I could just have a few hours of uninterrupted work, I could finish it. Things like that will be so much easier when they are in school. The routine will be a lot more consistent.
On the other hand, I have really enjoyed this summer. We haven't done anything major, mostly we've just stayed home and spent time together, but the Megan and Jared have become such good friends. They love to play together. And they both adore Kate. It's been fun to help them learn how to take care of her, how to play with her, etc. As much as I have complained, this really has been a fun summer.
This week, we have gone swimming a lot (like always!). We've also gone to the splash pad. Megan and Jared complain that they are too old to have fun at the splash pad, but they always have a blast when we go. And I enjoy it too - it's nice to sit in the shade and talk to the other moms, without worrying about the kids in the pool.
Megan has been learning to cook this summer. She can make a mean salad, without any help. And she's been helping Travis make a lot of other things as well. Sunday afternoon they made a three layer chocolate cake. It was fabulous. (I ate waaaaay too much.)
Since it's been so hot, we aren't spending much time outside unless we're at the pool. Instead, we've played a lot of xbox and computer games, and a lot of board games. Including Extreme Jenga. (Jared makes up the rules as he goes along.)
