Sundays in the fall around here for me? Finding little things to do to keep me occupied while the football game is on. :)
Lucky you - today, that means blogging. :)
Both Kaylen and Andrew had soccer games yesterday so we spent the morning driving into Vancouver to be at Andrew's game at 9am and then racing out to Battleground for Kaylen's 11am game. Due to Andrew's game running over by...a lot....we missed Kaylen's warm up time and the first couple minutes of her game. Oh the life of multi-kid sport season. Next week, we have a game close to home and then another one an hour north. Since the kids are all at other parent's houses next weekend, we have time to get to both because we don't have to factor in warm up time. Only 4 more weeks for Kaylen's games and then her season is over. I think Andrew's schedule is the same but he might have two weeks longer.
Then we can go back to not rushing out of the door first thing Saturday morning.
Yesterday, at Andrew's game, I took a few pictures of the kids with me. Check them out:
I really like this one!
So today. Let's see....what might today hold, you know.....AFTER the football game. We have the dishwasher that needs to be reinstalled from when we did the kitchen floor a few weeks back. We had tried to install it a couple times but as it turned out, we needed to replace a part which meant we had to order it and then wait for it to arrive. It's here now so hopefully, it will be a quick job to get it back in. Trust me - the novelty of washing dishes by hand for a family of 5 wore off a good long time ago. The kids, however, have had a good taste of doing dishes which I think can only benefit them in the long run.
Oh - did I tell you that I went to a PWT (People Working Together) meeting at the new school? It's their equivalent to a PTA or PTO. Anyway - I volunteered to be on the book fair committee for the October book fair. I am determined to keep my involvement down this year because I was so burned out by the end of last year....my 4th year running the PTO at Crestline. It's nice to see a higher number of parent volunteers at the new school but I heard the same thing from many people: it's always the same group volunteering. Same issue, different school. I suppose that's how it is everywhere, though.
Being back in the school means background check reports, which because I knew I was going to get involved on some level, I completed back in June. Maybe at the next open house, there should be a station set up for easy processing of the background checks. It could have a banner that reads: FREE SERVICE: check background checks here!! And then, once people have their checks run, you snag them for volunteering. :)
You know how people can't resist free things. Two birds, one stone. I'm all about that. :)
Okee doke - it's half time. Maybe we can work on the dishwasher and see if we can get it in before the second half of the same.
