Summer is almost over, we have last three days of vacation ahead of us and then it’s time to start new school year, for Sara and me as well.
We need to get Sara used to no napping at midday and I’m suspecting it will be tricky. My level 2 starts in two weeks as well, twice a week. Luckily I will have 3 mornings a week for my preparation, so passing this time should be no problem at all. We agreed on possible hours as well, so I will have Sundays free with my family, but still work 20 hours a week.
Our garden is so beautiful, the zucchini is growing like crazy, the abundance of cherry tomatoes is most welcome and Swiss chard and our carrots are as happy as can be. I really got rewarded for the proper soil preparation this spring. I’m still contemplating the plot expansion on the south side of the large plot, I would just add a box that can have a greenhouse like lid on it for lettuce and stating cucumber. Today is a “tame those crazy raspberries” day building a kind of wire cage for them to stay bound and digging up the young shoots and putting them where they belong 😉
I’m sitting here in the kitchen and it feels like this place is never clean 😉 I cook too much or too often, I guess. There are still couple of little projects I would love to finish, reupholstering the chairs, stripping and waxing the floors… The is always something to do and fix in a house 🙂
This summer felt very strange and short, two moths of rain and a month of intense heat, that’s it. We only camped once, if not counting Sean’s Cramer fest 😉
We managed bike rides, trip to PNE and visit to Grouse Mountain. We definitely hiked in the woods quite a bit, Sara loves it so much.
Christmas in four months, school, new routines… It feels a bit overwhelming right now, but Sara is a trooper and I’m sure she will learn so much with Miss Nichole.
Next year this time we will be getting ready for Kindergarten, it’s hard to believe. Suddenly I feel like my little girl is gone, which does make me very sentimental almost to a point of longing for another baby, but I think we are too late for that idea. We have an amazing, fiery little lady and she amazes us by her stubborn independence. She stepped it up a notch again, she buttons her own pajamas, but still struggles with the socks. I will skip the whole I pick my own clothes and change at least twice a day and for sure I would love to wear my PJ the whole day, preferably. :))
