Last Day of Summer

Before Leslie and I start back to school tomorrow (no kids til Wednesday) we headed to Ottawa to hang out on the Illionois River with some friends of Bryan and Brian from softball. We took Bryan's boat, that fit the four of us quite well, along with 2 rafts! Their friends had a really nice pontoon boat. After puting the boats in the water, we took a couple minute trip until we docked on a small beach.
We started off just floating near the beach...

Then Brian and Leslie got serious doing some tubing. Bryan tried, but was only able to throw them off once, and it was more of them losing their balance than actually being thrown off. It was pretty fun to watch though!

Despite the fall, we had a great time! The weather couldn't have been better. Who knows, this could be the future Sunday hang out place!

Morning Routine

I wake up between 5:15 and 5:40 to get ready for the day; am downstairs between 6 and 6:15 to check emails and watch any shows on the DVR that I am behind with. Kids start waking up around 7. The order varies; sometimes Aubry comes downstairs to snuggle for a few minutes before we go get M&G together, or, I have to get her out of bed after M&G are already up and changed. Breakfast begins. We change it up each morning between apple toast, veggie muffins, pop tarts, pancakes, cereal, and yogert. On Mondays and Tuesdays, there is no rush to get cleaned up and ready to leave; Grandma Karen arrives around 8. Other days we scramble to get hands and face washed, shoes on, coats on, toys put away, and to-go bags ready (backpacks and/or ballet bag, and diaper bag). Our goal is to be in the car ready to go by 8:15. The drop off at Grandma Nancy's is followed with dropping off Aubry at preschool at 8:55. And then I am off to work.
