Last Week of Summer

Good evening everyone. VERY late getting this out. Just got back from chalk drawing before all of the kids go back to school. A bunch of parents were meeting up today to draw inspiring words for the kids return to school. I drew a large BB-8 with "May The Force Be With You" on the sidewalk. Sat outside for an hour keeping a keen eye for police. I think for the most part it turned out alright.

Monday I had a flat tire after work. Great. Luckily it was an easy patch and only took an hour out of my day. Mia had her soccer practice Wednesday. 2 hours before practice she was already wanting to go SO badly. We spent most of my day off getting any last minute school supplies we missed on the list. Practice went great. A short one since it was also Open House. I had the girls work on one touch shooting, red light-green light for ball control and some passing while calling out each others names to whom you'll pass to. Sorta worked. This week will be a scrimmage before their very first game.

Open House went well. Mia got to see where she'll sit on her first day back and meet the teacher. She also got to see who is all in her class. She is beyond excited. As bummed as I am to see Summer go, I can tell Mia really needs to get back to a routine. She'll be starting dance this week as well in her 2nd level. Jazz, tap and ballet. Hope she doesn't burn herself out.

She played with friends in the neighborhood on Thursday before I went to work. Beautiful day to spend those last few days having fun. Saturday, we shopped and got her new shoes for dance. Luckily we should be able to sell the old ones since they're in good condition.

Mia had been begging to go ice skating for at least a week so despite only getting about an hour in, we drove to Eble and her and I skated. Plenty of figure skaters practicing and a couple kids trying for the first time. This kid LOVES to skate. Her double blades are officially too small on her and she'll probably be moving to single blades by winter. She's not excited about it, but they don't make doubles in bigger sizes. Plus, she's going to have to learn somehow. It'll be a new challenge probably harder then her learning how to ride on 2 wheels but I'll help her along the way like I always do.

Throughout the week, I've been looking into what it would be like doing a shark diving expedition with my buddy who we'll be visiting in Hawaii. It looks hella fun. I think the fear of "you just don't know what sharks will be there" and thrills of swimming in the open ocean gets me pretty excited. We've also been looking at AirBnBs still trying to find the best one for the price. Hopefully we can decide on one in the near future.

This week, first day of school tomorrow followed by dance after. Practice Wed. FIRST game Saturday which will occur during the CFC/Leiscaster match. Hopefully Chelsea can continue winning. My bro leaves for Disney this Friday so hopefully he avoids the hurricane. Have a great week and thanks for reading!
