Back to Reality

Phew! After what seemed like a crazy summer, I was ready to get back to reality and have some routines and order re-established in our home. Isaac and Elizabeth started back to school the Tuesday after Labor Day and they were both excited. Isaac started first grade and Elizabeth started 4k which meant that she gets to take the bus to and from school like Isaac. I was a bit nervous to see if Elizabeth would go on the bus by herself but once the bus arrived, she gave me a big hug and kiss, said her goodbyes and walked up on the bus so proud. Both kids are doing great in school and thriving. Isaac could care less about his reading and math homework every night along with studying for his weekly spelling tests and Elizabeth loves to work on her letters and numbers. 

With both of them in school, I feel like a free mama with only 2 kids to attend to. Errands are much more manageable, I can get things done around the house on half the time and I can go to the gym and only cart 2 kids to the kids club, not all 4. I am loving a consistent bedtime routine and morning routine. We are thriving in the Wuehler home.

With school starting, Vanessa went back to work and soccer started too for Elizabeth and Isaac. Elizabeth was so excited to start playing but that excitement quickly turned to worry as she realized she would be on the field with out Jim and Vanessa. Isaac on the other hand was quick to jump back in the swing of soccer practice and his games. He LOVES it! 3 days of soccer a week proves to be an exciting experience for our family since one kid is playing, one is at the park playing, William is running around and the Ezra is in the arms of the parent chasing after William. No rest for the weary in this home.

One Saturday after Isaac's soccer game, we went to the Middleton Safety fair. The kids had a good time going inside the fire trucks and ambulances along with getting a ton of free treats and goodies and playing games. We are all for free, educational fun!
