Summer Summary!

Wow- this summer has been going by EXTREMELY quick!  Maybe it's because my hubby and I went on a 5-year anniversary trip, bought a new house and sold ours (in 1 day, I must add), or perhaps it's because we are in the middle of moving with two crazy boys and a energetic puppy!  Either way, we are busy, busy, busy!

This weekend we move into our NEW house!  It is bittersweet leaving our old house and neighborhood, but we are very excited to embark on some new adventures.  Today, we just went to the new hood to check out a new park in the area.  The boys loved it!  There was the best swing I have ever seen where you can swing WITH your baby.  Owen loved it because there was lots of stuff to climb, and lord knows he needs to get out all the climbing that he can these days!

I go back to work at the end of August and am already dreading it!  Once I get back into the groove it is fine, but like I said earlier, I just feel like it's going by too fast!  The rest of the summer I want to concentrate on some simple goals, I will call them my "End of Summer Goals":

-Get settled into our new house and unpack all the boxes.  Make sure everything item has a "place."
-Coordinate the first week of school lessons and activities (outfits included!)
-Go through Owen and Miles' fall clothes to see what they need/do not need.
-Make myself a fall capsule wardrobe.
-Continue to go to the gym and eat healthy (& hopefully lose 5-10 more lbs.)
-Have mother/son dates with each boy.

These are actually more goals than I wanted to have for the remainder of the summer.  I am a simple-minded person, and I usually like to stick to 3-5 (at the most) goals per month or so (can you tell I am a special education teacher?!?). I will touch base on how I am doing with these goals in a few weeks...it is time to get back to my wine and "Jane the Virgin" on Netflix (got to love being a teacher in the summer!).
