Wow, one more day of Summer

The last week has been a busy one. Last minute school shopping for the kids and hopefully we are finished until teacher send home their supply lists. The kids have had their last slumber parties and late nights for quit a while. We started having the kids go to bed earlier to get ready for getting up on time for school. Some of us have to be early risers. Braden has to be at the bus stop at 7:00 for High School and then Paige catches the bus at 7:50. I had the Elementary kids moved from the 8:00 schedule to the 9:00. Parker is in Kindergarten this year and they are only on the 9:00 schedule. I didn't want to have to make four trips to the school during cold weather, so we switched. Parker was in an A.M. class but I had him switched to an afternoon one. I am teaching Preschool in our home in the afternoon and didn't think he'd enjoy coming home from kindergarten and having to do preschool.
We all have been cleaning house and throwing out broken or worn out items. Also a few items made it to a thrift shop. Braden's room was the cleanest I have seen it in a long time. In fact, Paige thought it might just be cleaner than hers. So she cleaned her room. I went to take a picture of Braden's room the next day and guess what? Clothes all over. He needs to clean it again so I can get a picture for proof. I* started washing carpets again. I can't believe how fast the can get dirty. I trying to get all of the big cleaning jobs done before we get our baby in September. We are so excited! We have started counting down the weeks.
