Day 2400 | 2400!
/
The next 100-day blog post landing on the last day of summer? What are the chances?!? To celebrate, we’re going to answer a couple of end of summer/school-related questions during our team update. It’s been a busy few weeks for us (can you tell by the lack of posts…sheesh!), but I’m hoping that along with school starting, a simpler routine will follow. I’ll let you know how that turns out. Ha!
Sara
FAVORITES: Reading all the books, school starting back up, dried mango (always), lazy mornings at the lake, making chocolate chip pancakes, soaking in all the warmth of a fading summer
BIGGEST HURDLE TO OVERCOME: Balancing design work, subbing, volunteer work, housework, and, oh yeah, being a mom (that little gig)
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE: Getting the *hidden spots* in the house organized–some of these closets haven’t been touched in six years.
MOST EXCITING THING ABOUT SCHOOL STARTING: Not having to think about childcare!
WHAT SHE’LL MISS MOST AOBUT SUMMER: Weekday adventuring with two of my favorite humans
Chris
FAVORITES: Friday evening lake swims with the boys, scoring flight + hotel deals, any potato chips, preparing for his Fantasy Football season, yard games, perfectly cooked french fries, bunny interactions, family walks around the neighborhood
BIGGEST HURDLE TO OVERCOME: Coming to terms with the sunset arriving earlier and earlier
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE: Getting back into top ultimate frisbee shape
MOST EXCITING THING ABOUT SCHOOL STARTING: Listing to all the great stories related to friends and recess
WHAT HE’LL MISS MOST ABOUT SUMMER: All the epic family badminton matches.
Chase
AGE: 10.5
FAVORITES: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series, chocolate chip pancakes, chai tea lattes, playing video games (currently LEGO Star Wars), reading anything, setting up LEGO Mini-fig scenes, going for walks, debating his opinion, collecting pens, Banana the banana stuffed animal, chatting with grown-ups, Smarties candies
BIGGEST HURDLE TO OVERCOME: Waiting (patiently) for the Eau Claire library to reopen. The whole family is *very* excited but I think Chase might be the MOST excited. We'll be able to walk to get books again SO SOON!
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE: Getting *slightly* taller to make riding his new bike a little easier.
MOST EXCITING THING ABOUT SCHOOL STARTING: Being with friends and getting out of the house
WHAT HE’LL MISS MOST AOBUT SUMMER: Being able to be lazy and read a lot
Robbe
AGE: 8.5
FAVORITES: Breakfast cereal, Star Wars LEGOs, Star Wars movies, playing pickleball, Tootsie Pops, changing up his ice cream order, creating elaborate LEGO battles, doing swimming flip turns, stuffies (stuffed animals), chai tea lattes, playing video games, homemade mac + cheese, picking apples, Perry the Platypus (a stuffed animal), playing tag with Flopsy
BIGGEST HURDLE TO OVERCOME: Moderating his body temperature. This kid gets super hot or super cold very quickly. Maybe fall is the season for him!
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE: Welcoming another foster cat into our family (we just don't know if Flopsy is ready for it).
MOST EXCITING THING ABOUT SCHOOL STARTING: Recess. And friends.
WHAT HE’LL MISS MOST AOBUT SUMMER: The chance to go on fun vacations
