The weeks are sure going by fast now that school is in full swing. We have such a scheduled fall, things run in half hour time slots it seems. Katie is getting better with the homework load. It seems she is getting more done in school, and instead of an hour or "down time" after school, I'm only giving 30 minutes. That seems to help too. Although yesterday I let her and Will watch James and the Giant Peach after school. We had finished the book a while ago and the movie was a special treat. Seriously - if you haven't read that book (by Roald Dahl) pick it up. It was one of the funniest children's books I have read in a long time. I think I mentioned the swearing it contained in an earlier post.
Speaking of Roald Dahl, the church musical this year is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Auditions are in November. Katie obviously wants to audition and I'm hoping for a small part. She'll probably be an Oompa Loompa, right? I'm trying to decide if I want to audition again. Even though the week of the dress rehearsals and performances were really exhausting last year, it was so much fun. Katie and I both made friends and connections that we wouldn't have made otherwise, and it's such a fun group of people.
We have a birthday party this weekend that should be fun - friends celebrating their daughter's 1st birthday. It's their first child too....so it'll probably be a big blowout. :) There were a lot of babies born this time last year....
Ok - I'm off to wash the kitchen floor. I can't run today because the 3 year old doesn't have preschool today. I may be able to work in a workout while I'm cleaning. :) It's also Homecoming this week so we have a parade to go to this afternoon. Katie will be walking in it and handing out pencils.
