Hey friends! Grab your favorite coffee drink and let's catch up!
1. Are your kids into Labubus?? Mine are and they have had lots of fun collecting, saving up for and playing with theirs. It reminds me so much of collecting trolls when I was their age. I loved going to the mall and shopping for the perfect troll to add to my collection.
2. I have no interest in learning how to play Mahjong. Anyone else?? It seems to be taking the social media world by storm, but all those beautiful tiles give me a headache. I think I'd like to host a beautiful Mahjong party; just don't ask me to play.
3. It's been SO hot in the Midwest. SO hot that we are having to have indoor recess to beat the heat. I am so ready for a Fall cool down of any kind. The rumors are that slightly cooler temps are heading our way next week and I'm here for it. We baked our first pumpkin treat last weekend and are counting down the days until we are making chili and watching football on the weekends.
4. Kevin and I are enjoying watching the newest season of Quarterbacks on Netflix. We also watched Uncharted and loved it.
5. My bookclub is reading Funny You Should Ask. It's great so far. I'm not sure which I enjoy more - reading the books or going out to dinner with my favorite neighbor girls each month.
6. Check on your kindergarten teacher friends. The first six weeks of school are exhausting! Those cute kinders ask a million questions, need help with all the things and it's exhausting to establish all the back to school routines. There's no tired like the first few weeks of tired. I've been in bed at 9:30pm many nights this month. And somehow I'm still tired. Give some extra love to your favorite teachers this time of year. The kind emails, notes of encouragement and thoughtful gifts mean so much.
7. Junior high girls care way more about all their supplies, accessories and school clothes than boys do. My boys want comfy clothes. Throw in a fun logo or two, but comfy is king. Junior high shopping is expensive and so fun. We're on the hunt for the cutest spirit wear at local boutiques so that we are prepared for all the Fall spirit days.
8. Do you plant Fall flowers? I love them, but it's still so hot. I might just enjoy not having any plants to water this Fall and bake lots of pumpkin treats.
Thanks for the coffee chat!
Pumpkin!!! You are making me want to bake some pumpkin treats, yum!! I try to hold out until Sept 1st but I was already looking at my front door and thinking about when to put up the fall wreath, ha. For flowers, I occasionally buy a mum for the porch but sometimes we just add pumpkins to the summer flowers if the colors work. I'm kind of with you on not wanting to water anything through the fall.
ReplyDeleteKindergarten teaching sounds so adorable and so exhausting. I know you are probably the best ever, but I can also understand why you are tired!! We started our homeschool year this week and the school part has gone well but fitting in everything else of life has been an adjustment! We are expecting a new baby next month (very excited for another little guy to join our crew!) and I have no doubt it will throw off our schedule even more!
Your book club sounds so fun. Mine starts up again this fall (goes the school year) and I'm so looking forward to both the books and the ladies! We do a Saturday morning with coffee and pastries.
I thought my girls would have got into Labubus, they love collecting things like that but they've not been bothered. Phew!
ReplyDeleteI used to play Mahjong on the PC years ago but I wouldn't know where to start in real life.
I hope the weather cools down for you a little.
Labubus are cute but I know nothing about them. My cousin taught me (briefly) to play MJ when we were on vacation together this summer. It is pretty complicated! I don't plant fall flowers since our summer flowers grow through about November here. Loved the coffee chat!
