It’s Thursday… BOO!!! My heart is racing a bit as I type this! 4 more sleeps! Oh my goodness, we are so not ready!!! Yesterday we squeezed as much summer fun as we could into a day. We woke up early, went to pick up the cousins and Uncle Raj and headed to Toronto to Ontario Place. The 100 degree HOT weather made us forget that summer was ending. The boys had a great time splashing down water slides, checking out the rides and ending summer with a bang. (Thanks S family for hooking us up with passes).
We then had the rude reminder that summer is almost over! Tyler had his open house for high school… and the boys had their back to school BBQ. It was nice to see so many faces I missed over the summer. It was sad to see the reality that many families are gone as well as beloved staff. A new dawn has come.
After checking out new classrooms, meeting with teachers and cleaning up that BBQ stuff… we finally headed home. I think my feet wished they had pillows. They were so tired. I wore my favourite pair of flip flops all day… not the best thing for me feet… so they hurt by the day’s end.
Today… we were suppose to go do some shopping… that didn’t happen. I haven’t been on top of things like groceries, cleaning and laundry. There was not much that one could call breakfast, so Zach improvised and popped a bag of popcorn. Sad, eh? Well I didn’t feel to bad when my friend told me that her son had a freezie! 🙂
We went and saw Nanny McPhee today. I loved it! I think I liked this one even better then the first one. I spent a good part of my morning dropping off kids and picking up friends. After the movie, we did more dropping off and then headed to a friend’s house for a swim. It was another hot one today. By the time we got home, it was almost 6 p.m. I stopped to pick up stuff for tacos and began the battle of making dinner amongst the fruit flies! It was a little ridiculous at the reproduction that can happen with those pesky buggers.
Having been busy cramming all the fun we can … I had to spend a bit of time to tidy… but felt like I had accomplished alot. There nothing like in the world then hearing my son, with his grateful heart say, “Thank you, Mommy for today. You’re the best Mommy in the whole world!” Aw shucks! By the way, my sweetie, I am your only Mommy! lol
Tomorrow is serious business… finish the back to school shop (or begin it)… grocery shop for the weekend and back to school… prep house for company coming for the long weekend… get the boys organized, early bed times, lunches… NOOOOOOO!!!
Good bye Summer… It’s really been fun!
