Last week of summer blues

Well - here we are with 3 weekdays left before the boys go back to school. It will just be Colin and me for another week and a half and then he'll be off 3 mornings a week too! I think Matthew and Nolan are ready - they both love school and actually seem happier when they come home from school than when home all day. We are trying to get them back on the school bedtime schedule but Nolan and Colin are fighting it with a vengence. The olympics doesn't help either since Matthew loves watching it with Marty and I. Tomorrow afternoon we'll head up to the school to see the class lists posted. We'll see if my subtle email to the Principal and VP helped at all with Nolan's placement (I requested a specific teacher even though they "don't take requests"). Us kinder parents just get a little anxious ourselves this time of year... Matthew is the veteran 3rd grader now so hopefully all will go well there as well. We are gearing up for another baseball season starting in September. Oh yeah, Marty is training for the San Antonio Marathon in November. Cara (my sister) is training to run half of the same marathon (13 miles)! Me? I have no desire to run a marathon - I have started running again myself for exercise thanks to their motivation though. I really enjoy running but 3 miles is good for me. Well that's it for now.
