Well, it's post-Labor Day and summer is (un)officially over. We're back to school with a vengeance – homework started today and it was cool and rainy. I am very sad that summer is done. No more long days, leisurely walks to the ice cream store, or lazy nights. And no more Allie to greet me at the door.

Also, I have turned into that mom I never wanted to be – the one who overschedules her kids. Here's how our fall is shaping up:

Mondays – M's new baseball team (the Nationals) practices at 5

Tuesdays – M has speech group therapy at 5:15

Wednesdays – HOPING that Grandma Sandy can do piano lessons

Thursdays – A has her new chorus group, Notebusters, at 3:15, and both girls have ballet from 6:30-7:45 PM

Fridays – some Fridays M has baseball games

Saturdays – ballet from 9:30-10:45

Sundays – Sunday School and some days M has baseball games (til early November)

!!

And that isn't even including the Nutcracker rehearsals which will kick in in October. EESH.

Here's how we stay organized – I made a calendar for the fridge for Imogene and us to stay on top of things:

Here also is a picture that M drew on the iPad:
