End of a good back to school day!

The annual CHESS back to school picnic finished off our evening! It was a fun back to school kind of day.

This morning I decided not to run which I typically do on Thursday, but I ran Tuesday's run on Wednesday and I have a few aches and pains.

Drove over to my friend's house to find her electric kettle for hot water for science experiments...forgot to go pick up drinks for lunch while I was out.

Around 9 the three year old and 7 month old arrived so mom could do something important. I didn't have my stuffed peppers dish made yet though it was in process at this point.

We attempt to get my food made while two little ones are around and get some schooling done. I don't know how those with small children do it!

11am the little kids are picked up. I print off some of the last things needed for co-op. Pick up friends and get the kids to Student Council meeting at co-op. Run some errands to get for co-op....(Two grocery stores did not have a non-carbonated option in 2 liter!)

12:45 Co-op begins! So fun to see all of the kids and families :)

Felt great to sit down for a few minutes between classes with some other moms.

Science Experiments went well :) Grapes float on top of corn syrup!

Kids to MEGSSS...actually talk with my husband face to face before he substitute teaches for MEGSSS.

Come home and finish my dish for the night. (Postpunkballads is my favorite station on Pandora!) Load up tables and water cooler.

Arrive at CHESS Picnic and visit. Go pick up my boys...husband off to volleyball. Back to picnic. Enjoy hanging out with different people. We help clean up and bring home a worn out bunch!

A good day indeed. I feel like school has really started now!
