End of Summer 2010

Well it is the end of Labor Day Weekend, which is a 3-day Holiday for most people, but not these working folk.  Angry Husband had today off and I worked half of the day. It has been such a busy summer, and the running around is getting old.

I started off the summer with a post about 30 Things I Vow, I think I accomplished only about five of the things on that list.  I think I focused on going to the pool, attending conferences, and being lazy most of this summer. My work schedule changed in early July, which caused our family to do some shifting around.  Angry Kid also graduated preschool, and moved onto day camp.  He had been at his preschool for three years, and it took some time for him to adjust.

It was not very hot this summer in Southern California like other places.  We had cool breezes and sometimes, I even wore long sleeves. I think we are getting our summer right now. This past week has been pretty warm.  Angry Kid is enjoying all the pool time though.  At the beginning of the summer, he was taking swim lessons through the city and we decided that it wasn’t really working for him.  We moved him to semi-private lessons at a local facility and he learned so much.  He went from floundering in June to diving off the high dive in August.

Now school has started and we have started to get more into a schedule and routine.  I still want to finish some projects around the house, and work on cleaning up some of my clutter.  And the gym time, I need some more of that.  I’ve been quite a slacker.

But I thought that I would share some of my favorite pictures from the summer:

He graduated preschool, yippee!
