John told me today to make sure to keep posting, even if it seems like we don't have much going on. He had to work an overnight seventeen hour shift last night, so that made today's "day off" go by all too quickly. Our downstairs neighbor Josh kindly put the boys bikes together, and I moved Rilla out of 3T and into 4T- both things had been put off for far too long. We finished up back to school shopping which was a lot more expensive and detailed than usual since the boys will have (very strict!) uniforms at their charter school. Everyone was allowed to spend $1 of their allowance while we were out, which was definitely the highlight of the trip for the kids (the inventor of the the Dollar Store should rest well tonight knowing they bring such joy to children-). John did another long run tonight before dinner and is now out picking up a small cake for Katy who turns 19 tomorrow!!! One year ago I was bringing her to college, after hosting a tearful open house all day in Concord.
Our van broke down for the second time yesterday - we never had an issue until we decided to move out here and put all our money toward school! ;0)
Gabe has been quite busy writing and illustrating stories and both boys have enjoyed sharing "gaga ball", which they learned at camp, with the kids here at the BI, so they go outside often to play. Rilla has been playing with her dolls more, and terrorizing our friend's 2 year old.
Hopefully John will be home soon so I guess I had better fold this laundry...
