Well, exactly one month until school starts! Where does the time go? There is still so much I want to get done before school starts; however, it's not fun stuff! For example, clean the blinds and curtains in all rooms (completely boring), clean and possibly paint the base boards (probably not happening)! Then we've decided to turn the 4th bedroom in the basement into Austin's room (he'll still sleep in Preston's room upstairs though on the top bunk)! So, we need to go through the storage area and make room for all of the stuff in the spare bedroom and we will have to get carpet and a ceiling still installed. Then we can start to paint all of the kid rooms and prepare the baby room. Austin wants red (I'm not sure about that, maybe one red wall), Preston wants a blue room and Monday we will know whether the baby room should be pink or blue-yeah! Obviously, all of this will not happen in one month but it sure would be nice if it could! On top of all that, I have to get my classroom back in order, they didn't put hardly anything back in the right place after they waxed the floors. So, Jeff and I will have to go up there and rearrange the furniture and then I will have to unpack everything! This month is going to fly by. So, we will probably will not get a lot of the boring stuff done and we will however cram in as much fun as possible! Yesterday evening we went to the Jackson pool so today we will go to my mom's. That's all the boys want to do is swim which is fine with me I love it, too! Tomorrow we will be going to lake and sometime we still need to go to Six Flags to use our free tickets. Austin earned one from reading for 600 minutes and teachers get one for keeping track of the reading sheets! Also, I hope we will get to camping again, it's just been so hot!
I took the boys to pottery ewe to paint yesterday. They really enjoy going there and then going back to pick up their artwork! Austin painted a cross jewelry box and Preston a fish dish! Earlier in the week, they created their own artwork on large canvas frames (I'll post pictures)! They turned out really good! Preston's became a rainbow and Austin drew a nature picture with a creek running through the trees and flowers and a pink house. I'm working on a book of summer memories from shutterfly so I'll get back to that before the kids wake up. Yes, they are definitely on their summer schedule. Preston doesn't nap and therefore sleep in until at least nine every day!
