Feels Like Fall

For a day, anyway - I think the rest of the week it's going to be 90+, but today the high temp hit 80 maybe, and it was overcast and breezy for most of the day. Our cul-de-sac, which has seemed like a ghost town these last few weeks with the combination of the heat, humidity, and people being out of town on vacation, was once again filled with children playing all day long. We spent several hours outside with the kids while they rode bikes, played basketball, played with bubbles (Becca), caught bugs (Ben), swung, slid, got wet, etc.

We also had a visit from a door to door vacuum cleaner salesman, who I allowed to demo his vacuum by vacuuming and shampooing the carpet in our bonus room. Now the cat vomit stains are gone, and it smells lavender fresh! No, I did not buy the vacuum.

Tomorrow is Becca's first day of preschool - camp is over, and she starts August interim session. She graduates from Miss Lindsay's one year old classroom to Miss Kelly and Mr Alex's two year old classroom, right across the hall. Mr. Alex is Miss Lindsay's brother, and already one of Becca's favorite people, so she is very happy and I anticipate no separation anxiety tomorrow. It seems a bit anticlimactic that she's only in the two year old class, but they use the August 31 cut-off date same as the public school system, so my September baby has three more years of preschool before she can go to Kindergarten. Maybe I should have considered that when I timed her pregnancy - this whole September birthday thing is going to cost me an extra $10,000 in preschool tuition :P
