GET TOGETHERS

Last week, Jake had a birthday party for his friend Nick. They went to the batting cages & then to the pool. The parents joined the kids at the pool for pizza & chatting...a last hurrah of summer.

The kids got together with friends mid-week to meet their teachers at back pack night. They had so much fun seeing kids that they hadn't been in touch with all summer. I even saw some parents that I had missed over the summer.

Wednesday, I got together with friend for coffee & lunch...KID FREE!!

Friday night, I attended a going away party for a teacher at Hansen. We went right after school & then a group of us came back here for pizza, drinks and chatting.

Today, Allie & I went to CR to for a get together at my aunt's house with my mom's family. It was a meet Drew & a good-bye to my cousin Annie & her hubby TJ who are moving to Germany soon.

What a great week of getting together with friends & family!

This week brings a Festival of Trees meeting for me, a room parent meeting, school pictures, Jake finds out about his soccer & football teams & will possibly have a practice or two as well. A busy weekend is in store too. I have lots on my "to-do" list as well....so far I am keeping busy not working every day.
