I cooked a couple of lunch meals yesterday to have some choices on hand for the first week of school. That said, Jonathan has made it clear that he would like homemade Lunchables for the first few days. I also made "Georgia-bread" cookies, gingerbread cookies in the shape of Georgia! What a huge hit!!
Last night we had an alarm system installed. It took 3+ hrs for the technician to hook it all up, but there's a real sense of security and safety (I had wanted one in NJ too). Of course, I'm also tremendously nervous that I'll set it off accidentally.
I picked up the motherload of plants today! I'm done collecting greens. These should keep me busy, trying to keep them alive. Nothing high maintenance. The woman I took them from is a flight attendant, and she said she was gone for weeks at a time and they survived...so maybe they are just right for me!
We had a school playdate at the park down the street today, and Jonathan was invited to a rising 1st grader's house for an hour beforehand for a 1-on-1 date. This boy is on our bus stop, so his mom reached out to me after I invited the whole stop to practice with us on Monday and Tuesday. The mom's pretty cool too, so that's looking good. There were a lot of kids a the playdate, and Jonathan met two kids who will be in his class. I'm sure he's already forgotten their names, but at least there should be some familiar faces when he walks in on Wednesday.
Tomorrow we have dr appts for both kids to get their immunization forms completed; Elise's Meet and Greet; Jonathan's Meet and Greet (he'll get to meet his teacher!); and new parent orientation. We get to drop off all the school supplies we've gathered so far and sign up for extra-curriculars...and buy school spirit stuff. whahoo. If I can squeeze in the library, we may explore it tomorrow (at least to get cards), but I'm not sure we'll have the energy...or time!
