Well this week is the week where the Summer ends and the back to school routine begins. How I enjoyed our slacker Summer, and I’m bummed to report that we already have something on the calendar for every single day this week…

I’ve started waking up earlier, and waking up the kids up earlier too. Today we had a mock school morning, and we were all up, dressed, and ready go get out of the house by 7:30 a.m. We loaded up in the van and timed our school routes, we then hit up the grocery store to get it out of the way early.

The store was pretty vacant at 7:30 a.m., and we got the shopping done super fast.

Thade wanted to go to the library to get a few more books, and Dylan and Agnes were exhausted by 9:30 a.m. Even though there are only two days of school this week, I think it is going to be a tough week on the kiddos. I’m already missing those mornings where I got to sleep in till 7:00 a.m.

I hope the kiddos crash out early tonight, I’m tired already.

We’ll be up early again tomorrow to practice for one more school day. Maybe tomorrow will go a bit smoother, and just maybe the kiddos won’t be as grumpy.

So do you have any tips to share that help your kiddos get back into the school routine?
