Moving along towards fall

School must have started, because two of the four of us have already caught colds. I really thought we were past most of the illnesses, but apparently there are some out there yet that we need to experience. Greyson is home from school today, and Dan is coming home at lunch. Luckily, I was able to rearrange some things and stay home, but I don't know what we'll do when I can't do that. Actually, I do know - Dan will have to be the at-home parent. Where's our live-in nanny???

We just hung around home over Labor Day weekend, and the boys and I even biked to Greyson's school one of the days to play at the playground there. The kids are getting bored with our usual playgrounds (rough life, I know).

We all seem to have settled into our new school/work situations (only Dan didn't have any major changes this year). Reece is already saying he likes snack time best at school, so I think the honeymoon is over. The boys got to go to Fundaze this past Thursday because they were off from school for Rosh Hashanah, and they visited the Holden Arboretum. The best part, for me, was one drop off and one pick-up. Because they'll never be at the same school together, this is my only chance. I'm actually rooting for more days off. Greyson wasn't so thrilled, either with the trip locale or the fact that Reece clung to him much of the day, but Reece had a great time.

On another note, I'm thoroughly sick of cherry/grape tomatoes and the garden in general. Between the overgrown tomato plants and rotting tomatoes scattered around them and the sunflowers that are bent and half chewed up from squirrels, the garden looks like a hurricane hit it. The good news? The basil is still healthy and growing and hasn't been taken over by the cucumber plants, and I'm going to make pesto soon. Everything else I am seriously considering taking a mower to. Well, if we had a mower.
