tuesday the kids and i picked up groceries, brought them home, then went to our favorite apple orchard for the first time this season! it started to sprinkle while we were there but we still had fun. we got yummy apples, apple donuts, and apple cider.
wednesday was maybe our last hot day so we took the boat out in the morning and it started right up both times (so no stress this time!) we only caught a few pan fish but we had fun and it was so nice out! during nap time trevor had a video call with his new teacher, mrs brown, to meet her. then our friend Frank came over for wings; the kids were so happy to see him and play with him. after supper, Al and Frank played soccer with the kids while i finally finished weeding the fire pit!
thursday was trevor's first day of 1st grade!! i walked him to school and he had a great day! there are only 11 kids in his class and his classroom is in the cafeteria this year :) he still gets 2 recesses a day, eats lunch in his classroom, and will still have art and library time. he had 2 friends from kindergarten in his class so he was happy about that. he's excited to learn science and to be able to read chapter books.
friday trevor had school again. Al worked from home all weekend due to a contact with a positive case person.
saturday mom came down for labor day weekend. mom played with the kids lots and took them outside while i got things done in the house.
sunday we got jobs done outside like taking down the fence around the air conditioner, cleaning it up, and starting to empty the shed out for Al to start replacing the roof and back wall on monday.
monday grandpa peter and Al went to menards for the supplies early, then got to work. Al got the roof off then trevor got to help break down the back wall; he was so excited! trevor also helped me paint the back wall pieces; he's such a good helper! mom left after lunch, trevor helped a little bit during naptime then took a short quiet time while tova napped. Al and grandpa peter got the boards on the roof before the rain/quitting time. i helped clean up the branches they took down off the trees and the shingles and boards. i also burned our fire pit pile and some of the a/c fence boards.
tuesday trevor was back to school, tova and i ran errands (she was SO happy to ride in a cart), and Al and grandpa peter go the shed roof shingled/done! it was supposed to rain but only ended up sprinkling a little bit so they were able to get that done. after school, trevor helped me finish painting the back boards.
