The End of “Summer”

Well, the summer schedule has wrapped up and although we are on day 8 of 100+ degree temps here in DFW, our “summer” is over. 

I have started my new schedule, where I get off at 2:00 every day (except Friday) and I LOVE it.  I get off and I feel like I still have the whole day!  Just this week Jeff started his new schedule, which is FIVE days a week- no more 3 day weekends for him, poor poor guy!  (I told him I have no sympathy! haha)  Jeff’s new schedule will allow him to go in at 9am so that he can take both kids to school, allowing me to go into work super-early, getting off in time to pick Shelby up from Kindergarten.  That was something that was very important to me, and we are so very blessed to have my work be so understanding and accommodating (they changed the schedule rules just for me!) and Jeff’s work allow him to change his schedule just when we needed him to.

Cole started school yesterday, and the countdown to August 23rd (the first day of kindergarten) is on.  Next week we have Shelby’s Meet the Teacher night.  Yesterday we went shopping for her school supplies.  She picked out her own 6 folders, and of course she found ones with pictures of puppies and kittens on them.  No bright colors and designs for this little animal lover!

Saturday we had a girls’ day with Gram, who wanted to take Shelby for her school haircut and a new outfit for school.

First was the haircut at Sweet N Sassy and they did a wonderful job.  That place gets 2 thumbs up from us, for birthday parties too!

Next we went to Crazy 8 and Shelby picked out a new outfit- a denim skirt and a shirt with (what else but?) a HORSE on it.

After lunch at Chick-Fil-A, we wore Shelby out at a couple more stores before heading home to relax- shopping in this Texas heat is tough!!!

Thank you Gram for a wonderful day!

When we got home Shelby enjoyed some Rummikub with Daddy. The girl cannot get enough of playing games these days!  She is CONSTANTLY begging us to play something with her- Rummikub, Uno, Crazy 8, Go Fish, Connect 4, and Candyland are some of her favorites.

And that Mary dog is never far away…

So I snapped a few pictures of the new ‘do:

 

 

That evening the kids and Daddy played in the new sprinkler that I bought them.  My THREE kiddos!!

 

She insisted on wearing socks--- my little weirdo.

  

 

I am sure Fall will bring many more adventures and fun for the Peck Family.  We are READY!
