Winding down the summer.....

Thursday is the first day back to school for both girls. Maggie will be starting at high school, Abby will be entering 5th grade (upper school) at her grammar school. Where's the time gone?

Aside from the fact that they were just at each others throats (ahem), we've had a pretty enjoyable last couple weeks before school starts. Finished cleaning out all the dressers and closets. Saw 4 more movies -- Dinner for Schmucks, The Other Guys, Charlie St. Cloud, and Eat Pray Love.

We enjoyed lunch with one of Abby's friends and her family -- the mom is from Taiwan and cooked for us -- what a treat! Their older daughter is going into 10th grade, and she and Maggie were able to find at least something to occupy them both. So it worked out to be enjoyable for all of us.

We visited the Southern Living Idea house (I'd gone with my mom while she was with my aunt) as well. We were able to visit with my aunt as well, which made for a nice way to spend a day.

And the girls both enjoyed visiting with their friends on Sunday -- Maggie went to Laser Tag and Abby to a roller skating party.

So tomorrow starts the school things -- Maggie has registration tomorrow. On Wednesday Maggie goes for orientation and Abby gets to meet her new teachers. Thursday they both go back. So check back in a couple/few days for photos!

  1. Your movie list looks just like mine, although I haven't gotten around to seeing them yet, ha! Good luck with the start of school. The summer has definitely flown by!
