It's kind of hectic to get home from vacation and have one day until school starts. Although we tried to get a lot of things ready before we left there were still plenty of things to do today. We got up early, well it was around 7:30 but that's only 5:30 in Utah, and walked the pups and got ready then we headed out to open house #1.
A quick stop by Dunkin was in order since we didn't have much food in the house and then we went to Ethan's school. It was funny walking around with him. The kids in his program either have STEM in the morning, then their other classes in the afternoon, or vis versa. So they would greet each other "am or pm?" He was happy to find that a lot of his favorite friends were in pm with him. It looks like it will be a fun year.
Next we went to Dicks and bought a pair of tennis shoes for Hannah and a back pack for Ethan. Then we went to Walmart and bought food. Then we stopped at the pet store.
After that we went home and put away the groceries and ate corn dogs. We were home about 40 mins when it was time to go again.
We picked up Chelsea and headed to the high school. That place was a zoo! We found all Hannah's and Chelsea's classes, including a stop at the tech center for the culinary program and then headed up the road to Grace's school. She was anxious to see who her teacher was and if she knew anyone in her class. Her only hope was that Douglas and Joshua wouldn't be in her class. They are. She is super exited to start STEM though so the disappointment was short lived. I am not excited at all about all the transporting I will be doing this next year.
After the 3 schools we went to Kohls where Hannah had planned on buying a backpack. She couldn't find one. Grace did get some galaxy leggings that she loved.
We got gas and dropped Chelsea off at home then stopped by the McCombs to pick up Hannah's seminary stuff since this year Sister Krugman will be her teacher instead of Bro McCombs. I am not thrilled about that becasue the drive is so much longer. I know she will be a great teacher. I just want great and close.
We finally got home at 5. It was a busy day and it takes a long time to drive from place to place.
For dinner I made penne with meat sauce and we gathered everyone's supplies, found we were missing a few things but not too many, discovered that Ethan had misplaced his summer homework, and that Hannah would probably die without a new backpack. Walked the dogs again. Looked for the homework. Found that the printer still doesn't work so Hannah couldn't print her homework either.
Hannah emailed hers to a friend (hopefully she will remember to print it)
I put Grace to bed. She went nicely. At 9 we put Ethan to bed. At 10 he came in the bedroom to say he was too anxious to sleep. Fortunately I had just found his homework and although it was wet (don't ask) it gave us a project and we blow dried it, then I lay on his bed with him while he read some of the funny parts of Big Nate to me. Finally he was ready to bed.
I set the alarm (sad, I don't miss that at all during the summer) and the day is done.
