This week is a bit of a melancholy week, it is the last week of Summer break. I am in no way ready to go back to the set routine of the everyday, and neither is Thade. Dylan can’t wait though, he wishes kindergarten started this week instead of next.

Monday:

Early Monday morning, the kids were still sleeping in, so I finished another book. I’ve read everything in my collection, so I started looking around the house for more books. I found a few more books out of James’ collection that I haven’t read yet. Well, one I have, but it was so good I’m going to read it again.

I didn’t get to read too much because Monday involved non-stop errands. I was out of the house throughout the day, and we had to grocery shop too.

I finally got to sew a bit in the afternoon. I finished sewing all of the nine patch blocks that I pinned together yesterday.

I can’t wait to get some new fabric and get this quilt together.

Tuesday:

We had lots of rain. Serious, actual rain. It was cool, rainy, and cloudy all day. We stayed in and enjoyed a day at home.

I baked some breadsticks for lunch. I love to bake on rainy days. It is crazy my boys can finish off an entire batch at one setting.

I also got out more of my fabric stash to cut into 3×3’s. I have been sewing lots of nine patches this week. I think I’m up to thirty seven.

I gave the kiddos back to school hair-cuts. I also gave Agnes a little trim, how I wanted to give her bangs.

Wednesday:

I woke up to the start of a cluster headache, and I was not too happy about it. I decided to take my yucky noggin and three grouchy kids to the store for some migraine medicine and some new fabric too.

 

It wasn’t the best of trips, but I did find some fabric that I liked.

Thursday:

Day two of the cluster headache, and Agnes didn’t sleep again. Thade was worried about me in the morning, so he let me sleep in. He took Dylan downstairs so they could play in the living room. My boys are awesome.

 

This day just started off a bit wonky. By afternoon, it had turned into a mess,  and continued meltdown after meltdown until late in the evening.

Here’s hoping for a better tomorrow.

Friday:

Oh goodness, not a good day… Agnes was grumpy, Thade was grumpy, and Dylan was grumpy too. This was a very long, grumpy, gripey, miserable day.

I decided to work on Agnes’ quilt a bit, and I took the pieces upstairs to map out a pattern.

I still need to sew a few more patches, but I am loving the look of the quilt so far. There are pinks, purples, oranges, and light greens throughout the quilt. Now I need to make at least four more.

Saturday:

The boys were up and excited, and ready to go. They had a birthday party to go to in the afternoon, and by 8:00 a.m., they were already asking if they could get their shoes on and go.

We needed to grocery shop, so it was just Agnes and I at the store.

We did pretty good too. We got a weeks worth of groceries and checked-out in under forty minutes. The boys were happy to be at a party, and not grocery shopping.

I got a little bummed when I purchased juice boxes for the boys lunches. I still can’t believe that school starts in just a few days.
