We've been trying hard to beat this heat. Swimming twice a week and doing a little water play in the back yard.
Ever since we had a little fall into a hot tub, I-guy has been very slow to warm up in the pool. But, he has been letting his brother "teach" to swim (don't worry, we are never more the a couple feet away from those two!).
In other news, Super-E will be starting 3rd grade next Monday (Aug 17th)!!! Ugh! How did it sneak up on us so fast! I've got some major lunch planning to do. They have very strict food guidelines at his new Montessori school. Vegetarian (no problem), healthy and sugar-free. Hmmm. That means we might have to find something other than pizza rolls (yuk). We'll be looking through our veggie cookbook collection and picking things out. Maybe some healthy muffins, and finger foods with dips and lots of fruit. Super E is not a big fan of sandwiches or burritos, which makes it a little more difficult. We will see how it goes.
One good thing, we don't have to buy school supplies. We just donate a small amount for shared class supplies. This allows for less distractions during the day if everyone is using the same stuff. Cool! I totally dig that.
First day of third grade went smoothly. Like the mug shots above? It's hard getting these two to smile at the same time while looking at me. They were giving me their, "hurry up mom and take your silly picture" look.
