Two down, one to go

When Adam first started school in August, I was a happy girl.  It gave me a bit of a break every day, and it kept him busy.  Adam tends to stay out of trouble when he's kept busy, so it was a win-win for both of us.  I knew, though, that eventually he would go "off track," and I have been dreading it.  There is a silver lining, though.  I'm not going through gas in my car as fast since I'm not driving to the school twice a day, and I'm not waiting in lines like this to pick him up...

Fast forward to today.  We are now two weeks into his three weeks off, and I have to say it hasn't been nearly as bad as I imagined.  He has been fighting with Sadie more than usual, but I haven't been pulling my hair out.  Either I'm getting used to it, or I finally realized I was being far too dramatic.  Here are the highlights of the past two weeks:

• Tyler's 1st birthday
• Our weekly trip to the library for storytime
• The Primary Halloween party
• Playing in the leaves
• Building the first snowman of the season
• Adam conquering the final monster on his Super Mario game (this was a big deal at our house)
• Me finally running faster than an 8-minute-mile (this was another big deal)
• I got a new vacuum! It's awesome!

I'm sure to some people like Kelli, who is traveling the world and feeding Kangaroos, these highlights seem pretty ho hum.  For me, though, it's been a good two weeks.  I'm sure this week will fly by, and then it's back to school for Adam!
