Last Week of Summer

Well, it's been a wonderful summer, but unfortunately it can't last forever.  I head back to work next Tuesday.  Today I took the boys to one last summer movie.  We saw the movie Flushed Away, which Gary was very excited about!  He has seen it a few times, and has a little Roddy character from the movie from McDonalds or somewhere.  He has been playing with it quite a bit lately, so he was really happy when I told him that Flushed Away was going to be this week's movie!  Of course Roddy had to come along with us :)

Sammy did pretty well with the movie this week.  He's starting to get a little squirmy, so I was kind of glad this is the last movie for awhile.  He loved..LOVED smacking his hand on my box of popcorn.  I let him do it for a little while because it was definitely keeping him entertained! He likes to sit in my lap and push his feet and lift up his bottom.  I started rocking him side to side when he did this and a few minutes later I realized he was asleep!! Luckily he slept for a good bit of the movie, so that was nice!  Gary was glued to the movie screen the whole time.  He was curled up in his seat, munching on his little box of popcorn.  So sweet! 

After the movie, we stopped at the video games as we usually do and Gary had a good time playing his favorite racing game.  He came in 3rd place...that was the 3rd time in a row that he has come in 3rd place, so he enjoyed that. We stopped by McDonalds for lunch, and Gary was excited to get a new Smurf figurine...Vanity Smurf :)

Next we headed to school.  I really don't like spending much summer time at school, but since I had to pack up and move my classroom in June, I have a lot of work to do.  I spent most of the time looking around my classroom and trying to figure out where to put all the furniture.  Donnie came by for a few minutes and we moved most of the big items.  I still need student desks, and I'm hoping they will fit.  Its hard to have everything unsettled because I want to be able to start getting everything else organized.  We are kept so busy with meetings and staff development at the beginning of school, so I'm not sure how much time I will need to pull it all together!

Anyway, I'm just going to enjoy my last days of summer.  Sammy has his 6 month well baby visit tomorrow.  Saturday we are going to a baby shower, and then Sunday is another pool party!  Fun fun!! :)
