Mallory had her first day with kids today. It was a half day. She said she has some really sweet kids and she is excited about this year.
The rest of us spent the afternoon having a little swimming party.
Evelyn has learned to swim without a life jacket this summer. (Thanks Sunny!).
Wrenley grabbed my hand and proclaimed “you going to jail!” What? Why? “Because!”
She’s ornery and I would guess the preschool will have their hands full with her. It’ll be a fun full but still!
When we were done swimming, the girls had their obligatory popsicles. I asked Evelyn when they ask her what she did on summer break what are you going to say?
She answered “I’m telling them my Grammy let me have a margarita!”
Girl….it was a margarita FLAVORED popsicle!
I suggested she refrain from telling them that.
I doubt she listened.
I know summer is still a ways from being over, but I spent a little time this evening looking at my summer projects.
My flowers on the patio oasis are still really pretty. It has been a weird summer. Cold, rainy days followed by a days of the hottest hot and dry days, then more rain. I don’t know that I have done a good job watering because it was confusing on how long it was since it rained last. But they have seemed happy and happy flowers are beautiful.
Hard to tell from a picture, but the peach sticks I planted are now taller than me! I am super excited by that.
And my “Eric” tree is probably 3 feet tall now.
The last two years the end of August has been a train wreck. Two years ago, I fell and broke my shoulder. Last year, my brother passed away and broke all of our hearts.
I am praying that this end of August is a big nothing year. For all of us.
I am also praying that this is a healthy, successful, peaceful and productive school year.
Ready or not, the bus rolls out at 6 am tomorrow.
