The kids went to their friend Makenna's birthday party on Saturday. It was held a Waterloo Trampoline & Tumbling. Boy did they have fun bouncing on the trampolines & trying their skills on the rings, ropes & other things. Allie is determined to start taking classes there in the Fall. I may check into the class that her friends are in so we can carpool.
I am working on getting the kid's Fall activities in line. Jake is registered for flag football, soccer and Scouts. Allie is registered for ballet and Scouts. She is also begging to add tumbling and soccer as well. We'll see! I'm also looking into private swimming lessons for the kids...our favorite coach isn't doing lessons anymore so we'll see what happens.
I have been cleaning like crazy the past week or so. We have a huge Good Will pile, lots for a garage sale & so much trash that it didn't all fit in the garbage can today! Almost every closet, drawer & cupboard have been gone through & reorganized/purged. I even have an empty drawer in my kitchen & 1/2 of a shelf that is empty in my bathroom closet! We also cleaned out the garage (most of it), washed windows and power washed the house over the weekend. Today, I am tackling the basement...it shouldn't be THAT bad since we purged quite a bit in early June when we had water.
The kids and I went to the waterpark on Monday. It was a nice day. We will try to go tomorrow after Jake's ball game. It may be too hot....the kids prefer to go on lower heat/humidity days because it isn't so crowded. I agree! On Friday, we are meeting friends for lunch & then we will go to the College Hill Art Festival. The kids love to go into the kid's only tent and buy stuff. No adults are allowed. The theory is to let kids decide what THEY like without their parent's influence. It looks to be a quiet weekend. We have errands to run & a few outdoor chores to tackle. I am also going to work on some Teddy Bear Tea, Scout popcorn & Carnival stuff. Anything I can do now will help my stress level in September!
Have a great rest of the week!
