This weekend, we did not do much. After a wildly eventful summer, it was very nice to just hang out with the family for a whole weekend. We went to the Holly Springs Library on Saturday morning and bought some school supplies at Staples after meeting on Sunday. It was very restful. So restful in fact, that the kids were sufficiently bored by the end of the weekend that they started, on their own, a project that is way over due. I will not steal their thunder by describing what they did. Actually, I am looking forward to seeing the fruit of their efforts myself. Kelly and Christian took over the living room yesterday afternoon to work on their project while Lorena and I took a nap. All we heard was some shuffling around and hushed talk for a couple of hours. It was kind of nice.
Earlier in the day, Kelly’s piano teacher, Brenda Bruce called to assure Kelly was back from vacation and change her piano day from the normal Tuesday to today. Christian will have his first guitar lesson of the school day with his brand new guitar on Tuesday. Everyone except me will start their workouts at the YMCA later this morning–Kelly and Christian are preparing for a 10K race in the spring. I bought another CLEP preparation book from Amazon this morning. It really does feel that we are back to our school year routine.

Doesn’t it feel great to see that routine falling back into place! We are quickly getting a routine into place and I really want to keep the momentum going. We are still adding things in — like ingredients — and I want the whole thing to come out palatable and not overwhelming!

Lynn, I keep thinking we are going to get the routine exactly like we like it the first try. We are getting better, but I guess part of our regular routine for the start of the school year is to refine the routine!
