It is Almost September

• We have completed 4 weeks of school and working on week 5.
  
• I am looking forward to our 3 day Labor Day weekend next weekend! Yay for Jamie not having his nose in a book all weekend too!
  
• The windows are up, fans are on, and the kids did part of their reading and homework outside. Wonderful!
  
• My sinuses are no longer functional, I am very sleepy, and I feel like my head is in a drum (welcome almost fall).
• We bought our first gas grill this weekend (look at us getting all modern).
• Upon noticing that we were out of milk this morning, my wonderful husband hurried and got dressed and got us stocked up, so I didn't have to drag 4 kids out to do this menial task.
• Soccer season is upon us, and I'll have 3 girls playing this year.
• My kids went to their first neighborhood birthday party this weekend.
  
• You know you are in the year 2011, when your child's phonics lesson includes the word "internet."
• You practically have to give away your first born child just to buy Sudafed anymore.
  
• Did you know that Dorothy never had ruby slippers in the Wizard of Oz book? They were silver!
  
• Sign language is fun to learn.
• Sweet tea in the morning is my "coffee"
• I'm looking forward to colorful leaves.
