Getting Ready..

Not much happening this week.  Well, not much that anyone else would be interested in.  I've been spending the week with the boys having fun and getting them ready for school next week.
Monday, we went to get haircuts and new shoes.  (Zach and JJ have bigger feet than I do!  That's really saying something.)  Tuesday we went to our last $1 movie up at the mall.  Mr. Peabody and Sherman.  I wasn't expecting much so I was pleasantly surprised.  It was entertaining.

Wednesday was the best!  We headed to Dave and Buster's for 1/2 price Wednesday with some coupons I had.  We spent about 2 hours playing video games and collecting tickets.  And about that long trying to find something worth while to spend the tickets on.  They always love going there.

Today was pretty uneventful.  We went to the grocery store.  We took the walkie talkies this time.  They love that.  We each get a walkie and I send them on missions to find stuff in the store.  They help pick up the items which doesn't take me as long and they have fun all at the same time.  It keeps them occupied and not annoying me or each other.  Tonight, Steven is taking JJ and Zach to some Magic the Gathering tournament somewhere.  It's some card game that they've gotten into.  Have fun!

Tomorrow will be crazy!  We have open house/registration for all 3 kids.  Only 2 different schools this year though.  (Next year it will be 3!)  But they are sort of spread out.  Thankfully the schools are all on the same street!  Zach will be registering for his first year of middle school from 8-10 am.  We will find out his classes and teachers.  We will get him gym clothes and go around the school, making sure he knows where all his classes are.  Hopefully he will get adjusted quickly.

Then we will register Elijah, which is from 8-12.  That shouldn't take too long.  I paid for most stuff online and we already know that school.  The part that will take the longest is all the boys wanting to see their previous year's teachers.  That usually takes all morning. Especially since my kids haven't repeated a teacher yet, that gives us about 12 teacher that are still there that the kids might want to go see.  Whew!

Then we will take a short break for lunch and get JJ back to the middle school to register from 2-4.  It's gonna be some day!  I may need to go to bed early.
