We are heading out to the Bremenfest parade. It is 11:30 AM and is already 88 degrees. I am assuming that we will all be a well cooked family by the time we watch the 1 hour parade. We always sit at my sister, Terri's, house and there is NO SHADE in her front yard. Thank goodness the parade is not too long. I can already feel the sunburn even though we are all going to be coated in sunscreen. Ahhh, and there is nothing better than having sweat run from your head, all the way trickling down your back....blech!
Tonight we have the Boy Scout Court of Honor which is, thank goodness, in an air-conditioned building. The past few years it has been at the park....that would be miserable tonight.
We have a busy week ahead of us...making sure kids and mom are ready for school and then I think we are going camping this coming weekend. Clif is anxious to use the new camper. We can swing it, as long as we are just in Ft. Loramie or St. Marys. I am always majorly stressed about school starting so for me, that is not a good weekend, but I know the kids and Clif love to go, so I will have to just put my worrying aside for the weekend and have fun with all of them.
The 2 little ones have started soccer practice every week and are really liking it. Drew gets so excited every time he has just practice, I can hardly wait for him to have a game. Kate likes soccer a lot too, but I think a lot of it is because Clif is her coach. She really likes that he does that with her. Football has been taking a lot of Chip's time. He is whooped at the end of the night after 2 hour practices in this heat and humidity with full pads on. He loves it though. I have not heard one complaint, whine, or excuse from him at all. I am nervous about him getting school work accomplished, football practice, instrument practice, and still have time for a good night's sleep.....I know lots of boys do it, but we are going to have to be pretty disciplined around here to get it all done. Another change for this year is that Kate will be walking Drew home everyday since Chip has football everyday after school. I sure hope that Kate can get him home without having to stop at every single house on the way home to chat....she might not get here until bedtime!
Chip has his first scrimmage this Thursday...I am excited, but scared for him. I cannot wait to see my little guy in football pads...that seems almost unbelievable to me....but I am not sure that I am ready to see him tackling or worse, being tackled. Keep your fingers crossed for me that we (Chip and I) make it through this 1st football game with our sanity (I guess that is mostly a request for me! LOL!)
Here's hoping for a cooler week, especially next week when school starts and Drew and I will be cooking in our classrooms.
