Getting Back Into Routine

I guess I have disappeared from the blogosphere for a while. I haven't really meant to...I just get distracted easily or maybe not so easily. It has a lot to do with the summer break and three kids home constantly. Since Sugar is slowly growing out of naptime, this summer felt significantly different than the summers of the past. We were free to stay out until later afternoon, or spend the whole day on a fun outing. We bought a membership to a neighborhood pool for the first time. Many days of quiet mornings, lunch and afternoon at the pool or play dates at parks with friends, or letterboxing, walking, going to the library. Full days to go to the mountains or to some fun kid destination. A wonderful summer in many ways...but my particular pursuits...like blogging... have taken a back seat to the new summer routine.

Now here we are in September and school has started for the older two kids. Slugger is a 3rd grader and Sparkle is now in kindergarten (half-day). After almost 3 weeks of school, we are beginning to settle into the new routine. Sugar will be in preschool soon, but that doesn't start for another week. So...as the routine settles in I am finding a bit more time for some other pursuits again, including blogging. Hopefully, I will be around a bit more....
