report of the day

How I really spent my day:
while at the bus stop some of moms said they were going on a bike ride and invited me to go.  I thought about it for a minute but then said yes.  So we rode to the wharf, then struggled back up the hill and stopped for a drink (oj) and then back home.  It was a lot of fun.  Sort of :)
Then I watched an episode of Gibbs, showered and headed off for emergency supplies.  Filled the propane tank, got some water bottles and batteries.  Now hopefully Irene will bring just gentle breeze and a little rain.  I always hope to prepare and not need it. 
Then I came home and did some laundry and cleaned up a little and started picking kids up from school.

H reported that her day was fine.  She likes her teachers and has friends in each class.  She wants to go to the dance on Friday and survived with her less desirable back pack.

Lu came home and was super excited she got on blue!  After trying all last year she got it on the first day! She also went to the library and got two books! Ate lunch with some friends! and Sincear is not in her class this year!  Good day.

Last to come home was E.  He had a good day as well, liked his teacher, went to gym, played on the play ground, found lunchtime to be fine, and when ever the Patriots win a game there is no STEM homework the next day...he and John are now Patriots fans :)

When we got home we ate an early dinner and headed off to soccer practice where they got to scrimmage the other rec + team in our area.  We won.  E was goalie and only let in one goal on his shift, then he was forward and scored a goal.  Happy day.

Tried to get everyone to bed early, all lights are now off (9:14) and we are well on our way.

R has an early morning brief (6am) and all the kids are tired.
