So, things are finally into somewhat of a routine around here….although the mornings tend to vary depending on the week. Clare loves preschool…..as do I! The 2.5 hours of quiet in the house do a mommy good. Although, most days that time flies by without even realizing where it went to, or I don’t even get home because I run errands. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons from 12:30-3pm Clare is in school. Tuesday and Thursday mornings are spent at the YMCA for Yoga or Yoga/Pilates. And the rest of the time slots are filled with various activites with MOMS Club, playdates, or whatever comes our way. All in all, the weeks are pretty busy around here this Fall. And with Fall, the set-in of allergy season has hit. Clare’s pediatrician thinks she may have allergies….so we are going to try Nasonex this Fall in hopes that it will help her. I’ve been running the humidifier at night to help her sleep better. About 2 weeks ago she was really bad off, and came down with a fever too. I think she was mainly run down from all the activities we’ve been doing on top of preschool….and she’s so stubborn about napping or resting these days. Although I have gotten more naps in with her in school. Not much else to report around here. This week is flying by, and hopefully this weekend will be nice enough as it’s Eastown’s Streetfest….live music, artisan booths, and hopefully an elephant ear cart! I think we’re also going to go to an orchard here in town for some Family Fun. We may hit the theater’s if it’s raining though, we tried last weekend….had our tickets to see Everyone’s Hero, went out to dinner, played a game of air hockey to pas the time by before the show started….and then the theater lost power. Apparently there was a tornado warning for Kent County, and one had been spotted touching down East of town. So, we were stuck in the theater, and our movie wasn’t showing because of the tornado. We’ve got vouchers, so the movie is paid for already….it was just hard explaining to Clare that we couldn’t see the movie. So, we hit best buy to get a new movie for home….and we had popcorn and movie night at home instead. It worked….and Clare was happy! That’s all that counts….
We actually made quite a bit of money, and got rid of a bunch of stuff! I did have to take a large carload to Goodwill when it was all said and done, but oh well….I didn’t expect to sell everything. I still have a few things to take over there, but nothing major. This weekend we are headed to Paw Paw, MI for some Wine Festival Fun! This is our 3rd or 4th year going, and it’s turned into quite an event. Last year we had my parents, Meghan’s parents, Larry & Meghan, Brad’s parent’s, and some of their friends come. It was quite the ordeal. This year I think it’s just the parents, and we might meet up with some of our friends for a drink under St. Julian’s tent in the afternoon. Should be fun none the less, as we are camping this year, so we get to continue drinking with the parents while Clare sleeps away in the camper. Moonshadow is being kenneled, and we are off for some fun. And then on Monday it’s off on our new schedule, as Clare begins preschool 3 afternoons during the week. I am VERRRRYYYY Excited about that! I have no clue what I’ll do for 7 hours a week, but I’m sure I’ll find something.
