Quickly...

I don't have much time for a post right now, but I realize it's been too long since I've updated the blog.  So, I'll give you some quick phrase ideas about what has been going on this past week.

Projects.  Rushing to complete before school starts.  Scheduling fall routine.  Trying to clean more.  Clean house = busy Mama.

Girls have hand foot & mouth.  Sad.  Fevers.  Blisters.  Miserable.  Cranky.  Getting better.

Labor Day Weekend.  Grandma & Grandpa here.  Low-key.  Nice break for Mama.  Dishes done for me.  Girls entertained.  Quality time with family.  Fun cooking time for Mama.  Paula Deen's peach cobbler.  Mmmmm.

Girls in CT.  "Last hoorah" for Mama & Dada on Monday (without kids) = a long run in the woods together, Thai food, I cut M's hair, and a movie.  Wonderful.  Sad that summer's ending.  Happy that we had such a great summer.

Back to school this week.  I'm teaching more.  M started yesterday.  Youth Orchestra starts Monday.  Trying to stay organized.

Still without girls.  Mama being productive.  House oddly quiet.  Can't waste too much time blogging or my to-do list won't get done before kids come back.

Baby 3.  Kicking me.  HARD.  Wondering how I'll survive to the end, when she gets really big.  Can already literally see belly shaking when she moves.  Too early for that.

Preschool.  Starts next week.  Orientation tomorrow.  Hoping N is healthy enough to go.  N = excited.  Playing "school" all the time.  Mama = excited, anxious, a little sad.  Growing up fast.

Lastly, I give you some random pics of the girls from my phone, taken over the last few weeks.  Enjoy!

The girls enjoying a game of dress-up.  Excuse the mess.

Quality time with Daddy.  We'll miss you while you're teaching!!

Fun with squirt guns at our friend Jeremiah's birthday party

"Digging for gold" at the birthday party (Toy Story theme!)

L's favorite accessory these days.  Blurry, but still adorable.

More fun with squirt guns (party dress was promptly removed after this picture was taken)

N talking on her "gourd phone"... fall is here!!
