Catch up

It’s been another minute since I’ve last posted. Here’s what I can tell you! 

We’re in full getting ready to go back to school mode! We go Tuesday!! My goal tonight was to get the youngest three in bed by 730-I failed! BUT only by 15 minutes. Baths took a little bit longer. It helped tonight that the kids are still extra tired from being up super late last night. We had a bonfire and cookout! So much fun!! Tomorrow night will be the real deal. I’m getting SO nervous. Every time I think about it I panic a little inside. It’s been 5 months and our normal still won’t be normal. 

We had an all staff meeting to this past Friday to meet all the new staff that are at Irving this year! Five new teachers and three new associates. I seriously wanted to hug everybody because it was so overwhelming awesome to see everyone again! Like amazing. Even though I wasn’t there that long at all-just to say hi and catch up a little was awesome. 

This is what we looked like. It was weird. Sitting outside and with masks on, but it was good. I think what I’m most nervous for is any sign or symptom of a cold and then thinking-what happens next. 

Henry is absolutely against going back. He cries every time I try to talk to him about it. He tells me he hates school and he’s scared he’ll get in trouble. I have no clue where that’s coming from, but I’m hoping once we are there and he sees his friends he’ll be ok. Fingers double crossed! 

We have everything we need for school, and now we just need it to be Tuesday. Also-Adrian will go back to daycare full time until preschool starts in September. 

Onto less stressful things! 

This last week my mom came down one day and had me go shopping for myself. That was nice. I don’t get to do that-like ever-so it was fun going from store-to-store with nobody but me. I did find some cute things too. 

Yesterday Henry and Ryan went to Papa Lewie’s farm. Ryan mowed so Henry could ride the bigger four wheeler. Well Lewie’s farm is by the river so they ended up walking almost two miles total of it! Henry had an absolute blast! I’m glad they got to have a special day together. 

This girl and I today ran an errand. We got her new back pack. This pic is from last night, but it’s good. She loves to have time alone with me. I did take Vi with me this morning on a laundry soap run and she loved that. 

While Iz and I were getting her school bag, I got this picture text from Ryan. Adrian has told me before I left, “Mommy! I’m putting a pull up on because I’m going to take a nap!!” 

I guess he wasn’t lying because he slept for almost 4 hours! He also fell asleep for bed with zero issues. The kid has been a busy boy the last couple of days! 

Vi spent a lot of time with her bestie Evelyn this last week. They’re pretty inseparable. I love it that she has someone she can be so close with! Bonus-we are neighbors!! So now here I am. All kids in bed. Feeling good about this week ahead. I’m so, so ready!! 

Until next time! 

PS I will try to document as many pictures as I can if our first day and how different it is or will be!
