Summer days flying by
The boys have about 1 more month of summer vacation left (they start back to school on August 26th -- it seems so early!) and we are making the most out of our time together. Our summer kicked off with a great vacation in CA, and since then we've been keeping busy with activities and errands and still unpacking the house :). The unpacking is about 90% done, but we still have some pictures to hang and some furniture to rearrange a little. I found some fun activity ideas on the internet, and the boys and I have done a handful of those so far: tie-dyeing shirts (I need to get a picture!), making "dinosaur eggs", making rock candy, and we have a few more to try out -- marshmallow catapults, painting projects, mini bows and arrows, etc. We've also been to the pool and library a lot, both of which they love.
I've been trying to accomplish a bunch of other tasks this summer (like making dental appointments for everyone, well checks for the boys, an updated round of allergy testing for Jack, a hematology followup for Peter) but it turns out that I was a little late in making these appointments. I should have been calling the offices and making summer appointments back in May because by now all the summer appointments are booked and the next available week is .... you guessed it, the week of mid-September, my due date. :).
Well, we were more than a little busy with crazy life events, so making routine appointments definitely wasn't on my radar. So, I predict one of two things is going to happen, and neither one is terrible, but it will be interesting to see how things play out. One, Murphy's law will dictate that because I made several important appointments right around my due date, I will actually go into labor early for the first time ever and will have to miss these appointments because I'll be in the hospital. :). Not a bad thing at all, if I can remember to cancel the appointments with enough notice so I don't rack up a bunch of $25 no-show fees. And if I do go overdue, then I'll be able to go to all these appointments while hugely pregnant, but at least Mom will arrive that week so we can tag-team the kids if necessary. It's going to be a busy time no matter how it works out!
