The kids were off school today for the jewish holiday. It was a nice day, though it was cool; autumn has arrived. When summer left it really left. It went from hot humid shorts and tank wearing days to cool windy jeans and sweater wearing days. I'm still holding out for that indian summer.
This morning we hung around the house and cleaned. The girls were suppose to be cleaning their rooms. They dragged out that task all morning and into lunch. Julia decided it was a perfect time to start going threw her clothes and giving stuff to Ariana. Then Ariana was trying to hang everything up in her closet and ran out of hangers. And of course all this was going on while both of their rooms were trashed. Then I had to go in and help Ariana go through her clothes to make room for the new stuff. Alias, not what I wanted to do today but it needed to get done.
After all that chaos, the girls and I went on a photo shot with a friend and her daughter. The girls had a great time and I got some great shots. It was a nice way to spend the day with the kids on their day off.
On a side note, before dinner Ariana finished off a container of milk and then asked me what she should with it. I replied, "Throw it away." Really??? Must I always think for my kids???? lol

Memory for September 7th
September 7, 2010,
Today went awesome! Yeah!!!! I walked Julia halfway to the bus stop, no body saw me so she was safe. lol When I was walking back I got a little teary eyed. I was starting to worry about whether she would be okay, if the kids would be nice, if she would meet new friends, if she would have someone to eat with, if if, if..... I hate that word. I need to stop that. I knew she would be great. I knew she would love it. No more ifs. Well, hopefully no more ifs. At least I will make an effort for no more ifs. lol
Ariana also had a great day. She loves her teacher (so do we). She got to see her friends again and play on recess with them. She was all smiles.
They were both so excited when I got home from work. It was hard to listen to them both. They wanted to keep interrupting each other. It's hard to tell one to stop and wait. So we took turns. Julia talked a little then Ariana talked a little. It was so very reassuring to hear they both had perfect days.
So no more worrying from me. ......well at least not for awhile.

Last day of summer vacation is always bittersweet. It marks the end of the summer and the start of new beginnings. It is sad the carefree days will end but it is the start of an exciting new chapters.
I will have a middle schooler tomorrow. Wow, middle school. I'm sure there will be tears, moods, laughter, more tears, and lots of moody attitudes. I'm sure there will be a little fun thrown in there somewhere. Isn't that what middle school is all about?
I will also have a third grader. Kind of funny her dad thought she was going into fourth grade. Third grade is a big deal too. This is when they step it up. The work is a little harder and more is expected out of the students. I know Ariana is so ready for that. No more being bored at school. I'm sure her teacher will keep her busy.
So summer is over and fall is beginning. Guess it's time for cider mills and donuts......

Ariana knows me very well. She knows that I hate shopping. I despise it actually. So when we were at the grocery store and she saw my overflowing cart she asked, "Mom you're going to be in a bad mood when we get home aren't you?"
All I could do was laugh. It was so funny that she knows me so well and knew I get mad when I shop.

The first day of September, and that means summer is coming to an end. So Sad... lol When I came home for lunch, right when I walked in the kitchen, Julia said, "Fifteen more days until my birthday!" Wow, time is just flying by. She will be twelve in fifteen days.
Today was also the last time we will probably swim in the pool this summer. It is suppose to rain tomorrow, and then a cold front is moving through. Ariana, Julia, and I went in the pool when I came home from work. Trevor was gracious enough to make dinner so I could enjoy the last nice day of summer!!!! While I was swimming with the girls, Trevor was making spaghetti with sautéed garlic, tomatoes, and basil. MMMmmmmmmm......
While we were swimming, Ariana, Julia, and I saw through the window that he was wearing... an apron! The girls got a kick out of that. It is a cool apron might I add. A black Williams Sonoma apron that he bought for me many Christmases ago, that I don't wear. He looked dashing in it though. lol
Thanks Trevor, Ariana, and Julia for making today memorable.

Today was an important day for Julia, middle school orientation. I can't believe my Julipooh is going to middle school. It seems like it was just yesterday that I brought her home from the hospital. Now I will be sending her off to middle school.
We had to wake up early this morning to get ready to go. Today was also picture day and I wanted to make sure her hair was dry before her pictures were taken. When she wears her hair curly she has to wet it in the morning then let it air dry. I am not going to like when summer is over and I have to start getting up at 5:30am. My days are going to very long.
The orientation went great. We picked up her schedule, received her books, got her locker combo, and found where all of her classes were. We met her advisor/science teacher. He was really nice. Talking with him and seeing the school really eased Julia's nerves. She said she is now ready for middle school and less nervous.
I know middle school always sucks because it is an awkward time in kids' lives, but I think Sarah Banks is a really nice school with a great staff and it might not be that bad after all. I'm even a little excited.

I have been coming home for lunch to spend some time with the girls but most days they have already eaten and stay downstairs the whole time. Today however, they eat lunch with me. We had yummy quesadillas. I even made guacamole. They don't like the guac, but I do. It was nice finally being able to share lunch with them. I'll miss that when they go back to school.
