Rush of School Starting

Do you ever feel like August is just a made rush to get a million things done?  Goodness, that's the way it was this year.

And not only that, but it was SO HOT on top of it all.  Like 100 degrees with 90% humidity making the heat index over 120.  Miserable, I tell ya.  Nothing worse than living in the swamp/marsh in the midst of a heat wave!

Our first order of business was getting some much needed dental work done.  Titus and Isaac have really intense mashed up teeth.  As such, they get these weird cavities.  (Eli has lots of room between his teeth and has no cavities--thank goodness he finally gets a break in the health department.)

Titus' dental appointment was the first day of school, so he only attended a half day of preschool .  He did well, was kind of goofy on the laughing gas, but was pretty chill.
Isaac's dental appointment was the second week of school, he missed the whole day of school.  He was did well, but was under the laughing gas and dental work for an hour, so he got motion sickness really bad and threw-up when we got home.

Isaac also started piano the first week of school.  He was really excited about it!  Good for him!  His teacher is a good 15 minute drive from our home, so me and the little boys try and find a park to play during Isaac's 45 minute piano lesson.  So far it's been going well… EXCEPT it was really hot for a few lessons in a row.  Eli and Titus were pretty miserable.  But it's cooled down a tad.

Isaac has really enjoyed piano.  It's none too hard to get him to practice, and he really excited that he's almost memorized a few songs.  When Matt plays with Isaac at the piano they can be there up to an hour.  Eli and Titus are excited about Isaac playing too, and they're anxiously awaiting when their going to start lessons!

Oh.  And THEN I had to get the Honda Pilot's air conditioning fixed.  Man, that was so awful having that broken.  So happy to have cool air in the car!!
So our first two weeks of school were kind of hectic.  But we were still able to play at the pool, Matt and I were able to go one a "day date" while the boys were at school, Titus bashed his forehead, and Eli took school pictures as a hot mess.
