We're in our final BIG week of September. We've prepacked backpacks, Scout bags, soccer bags, and dance bags, and the piano bag will be added to the pile in a couple days (James needs those books to practice right up through lesson day). The laundry room is filled with hangars numbered for each song in the recital this weekend, with accessories attached in Ziploc bags, and a cheat-sheet printed out for each dressing room to remind us which orders the costumes go in and what each kids needs to wear for each song. We're organized and ready for the week - hopefully it will last through Saturday!
Starting next month we drop one dance day, then the month after that soccer will end. Parents of older kids have warned me about how things might get easier as kids get older, but they also get busier... and we're certainly finding that to be truer than true this year. BUT... the kids are happy, they're getting enough sleep (and plenty of exercise), and they are both excelling at school (and still loving to read in any spare minutes), so we're going to keep on rolling with it. We're proud of them! And I'm proud of us too (for keeping it all together and in order, most of the time - there was a forgotten soccer bag once that required an unplanned trip home between school and Bootcamp).
