Busy Busy Busy

What's new right?? Things have been really chaotic lately--school started, Shane went back to work, the kids are playing soccer, we have scouts going again...

So the actual updates with all that--Meghan is loving Kindergarten!! Boy is she tired by the time she gets home though!! I hope she adjusts to that soon. Katie is in 2nd grade an adores her teacher--yay!!! Brendan is working at home again this year. I couldn't in good conscience send him into the 5th grade program this year. There are too many issues with the 5th grade teachers. We are getting into a routine though and I think the year will be good. Brendan is attending Music, PE, and TAG (talented and gifted) classes at the school so he gets quite a bit of time to see his friends--of course he sees them at soccer and scouts and everything else too.

We finally are able to have a good set schedule now that Shane is back at work and we are back to 2 cars. I hope I have lost the name "Car Killer" now.

We only have 2 soccer teams this year (the girls are on the same team), but it's amazing how much we are still on the soccer field. The girls are having a great time--theirs is just a recreational league. Brendan is loving soccer, of course, but he is more serious now since they actually keep score and have a record. They are 1-1 if anyone wants to keep track:)

Scouts: Well, Brendan is a Webelo II this year, which means it is his final year of cub scouting and then in Feb. he will cross over to the Boy Scouts--I can't believe it! I'm still on the pack committee so I spend a bit of time working for them. Meghan is signed up to be a Daisy this year--she is thrilled!! They have changed the program and she will be a Daisy for 2 years. Kathryn finally got her wish and I have joined the ranks of Brownie Leaders. They have started a new program that they are using in addition to what they have been doing so I spent this weekend trying to plan some things out. I have a really rough skeleton plan for the year worked up though. I go to actual training in 2 weeks though so that should help solidify things. We don't start Girl Scouts until mid-Oct.

What else?? Just normal day to day life I guess. At least the computer is functional now. I'll try to post again soon.

WOW! You are busy! At least you only have 2 soccer teams, goodness! I'm glad everyone is happy with things though, I'll bet that makes all the running around easier. :-)
