I truly cannot believe we've had three weeks of school already. On the other hand, we've slipped back into our school year routine. Sawyer's content with going to Debbie's, and I'm happy with seeing my crazies 35 hours a week.
Because our school was built in 1919, we have beautiful marble floors, and unique architecture, but we have no air conditioning. This summer has been the hottest on record in IL for quite some time, and this week was no different. It's 95+ outside, and being outside feels like an igloo compared to what our classrooms feel like inside. Picture getting to know your teachers so intimately you know what they smell like when they sweat. And imagine what 26 teenagers smell like moments after they've had PE in this weather, and they're crammed into a room without much air circulation. That's a great back-to-school vibe. So, FINALLY, on Tuesday, they decided we would get an early dismissal because of heat Wednesday... of course, a storm front came through, and it was very pleasant in the high school, but still. You can't call off early dismissals! So I got to come home early. At first I was only going to clean the bathroom, but it ended up being a full-on war on the house and laundry.

| Sawyer carried the broom around into every room. He's such a helper! |

| He adores his Lego table. The first few times he climbed on top of it, I kept pulling him off. Then Mr. Stubborn Pants continued to climb up. So I thought, "Ok, natural consequences. He'll fall off, get hurt, and not get up there anymore." Yeah, right. He fell off, cried, got a hug, and continued climbing. He climbs up onto almost all of our tables now. Let's hope he does not continue this behavior at parties in HS and college. |
