When Jackson turned 1 year old I stopped doing my little monthly updates, and I've decided that I kind of miss them! It's always very fun for me to look back and remember a little bit about how things were in previous months. 😊
Today I'm sharing a little "life lately" update for the month of September.
At this point I don't quite feel as if we've found our rhythm for the school year yet, but things are getting better. I mentioned to Dustin how I already dislike packing three (Jack's, Sammy's and my own) lunches each day, and it feels like it takes so long! On the weekends I try to "batch" things and cut/wash/package all of our fruits and vegetables for the week, so that helps. I have to be pretty particular about what Jack consumes to meet his caloric/nutritional needs, so that requires some advance planning and preparation.
Another task I wasn't prepared for was the amount of water bottles that need prepped each day for our family. I send two with Sammy each day - one for his classroom and one for his lunchbox - plus one for Dustin and one for myself. Our ice maker is working on overtime. 😉
Jack is learning and growing lots these days. He is starting to take some steps by himself which is an exciting milestone! Sammy loves to help him "practice walking" in the evenings.
Sammy is loving Kindergarten. This transition has been far more difficult for me than it was for him. Haha! I love hearing all of his stories at the end of the day, and learning about the friends he's made.
The boys get so excited to see each other after school. You can tell that they miss each other during the day! I miss the days of dropping them off and picking them up at the same location - we didn't realize how easy times were!
The weather is starting to feel like fall over here. The mornings are a bit cooler, and I've had to send boys with sweatshirts in the morning. Last weekend we put out our fall decor and lit our first pumpkin spice candle. I'm ready for soup in the crockpot!
We really savor our slow mornings on the weekends since our weekday mornings tend to be on the hectic side. I love to let the boys stay cozy in their pajamas while we play together in the basement for awhile. It's my very favorite thing to do.
That's a little bit of life lately in the Brisel household. See you tomorrow for Friday Favorites!
