Another nice weekend, mostly.
Have reached that point in the year where I'm resenting my business for keeping me so overwhelmed. Spent hours trying to get all the lab result letters out today, when I really wanted to go out to Bernheim Forest where Hubby and Princeling were, to let the Princess go gallivant around at Colorfest.
I made the most of this mommy-ing thing, though. Took the kiddos on a walk around town Friday--DQ to use their report cards for free food, added some ice cream, then to the library. Sharing books is turning out to be our great bonding exercise for this fall, I think.
Princess and I watched TV while I worked on charts yesterday, then we took a break and colored for a bit. Today, she accompanied me to the office for me to work on those aforementioned labs, but we took a computer break to play catch in the parking lot in the lovely fall day, so she was pretty content, and I remembered it was the little quality moments that mean the most.
When we got home, I started up the charcoal chimney for burgers and hot dogs. Hubby and Princeling brought in leftover chips from the campout, so we had a good outdoor dinner.
Everyone is now down for the night but me and the pets. I'll start getting them all settled soon.
