It's been a productive week...visiting my parents so the girls could have some playtime with my parents, doing more paperwork (will it ever end?), meeting with a lawyer (seeing as we are selling a house and buying a house while Jeff and I are living in different countries), booking ped appointments for the kids and making arrangements to get copies of their medical files so I can take those with me (yeah, I know I *should* know all of it but it's probably better if I have it on paper).
Adding some colour to Nana and Granda's driveway
Jillian is back in the saddle, we are back at the farm for a few weeks until we move and she was so happy to be riding again, even got to canter which looks terrifying to me but in her words was "so much FUN!".
And then there's the start of school. The kids were excited to go back to their schools to see friends, even if only for a few weeks. They are all having a great first week at school. But I'm a bit sad to see them go, and also sad because this is our last "first day of school picture" on this porch! We will be doing first day of school picture take 2 on the new porch in a few weeks when they start at their new schools.
Some stellar mommy moments on my part:
1. Jillian needed $6 for an agenda and I couldn't find any Canadian money, so I had her use her own money to buy it (I did tell her I'd pay it back, maybe the horse riding lessons count?)
2. none of my kids had their indoor shoes ready for the first day of school...but by the end of the week they all did so that's something
3. Kyle complained about the work he is doing now being counted for nothing which makes him frustrated and I had absolutely nothing good in response...seriously, it's true, what can I say? Other than it's good to try your best no matter what.
