Tea for 5

Greetings everyone. Well, we're all back to work officially post-vacation. Jill's been back since we got back into WI, and I finally returned to work today. Ugh. The time off was so nice and enjoyable and unfortunately, I don't think I got to enjoy the post-vacation off time. Let's get into that..

Throughout the week, I've been tutoring my awesome 7th grade student Ella (who's doing AMAZING by the way) and have been here and there picking up some school supplies for Mia. She did a bit of back-to-school clothing shopping as well. Always a bit tricky because she hates pants but she did find a pair that are comfy enough to wear this year. We also had to take a visit to Dick's Sporting Goods to pick up some new cleats. Her beloved black/pink Adidas cleats outgrew her, so she picked out some black/neon yellow Nike boots for the season. Just like she used to do when she was a tiny toddler. She used to try on random boots and dribble soccer balls around the aisles. After she laced her new boots up, we found a ball and she got some kicks in. With some great powerful passes to me, she was pleasantly pleased with these boots so we paid and were on our way.

Friday, Mia went clothing shopping with my Mom and than later had a tea party with her friends Noelle, Katelyn and their sisters. Great fun playing and eating little treats! These kids always have the best time pretending to run a bakery, a kitchen, etc.

Saturday, we packed up the car and went to Steven's Point. Jill helped her friend and former roommate Willa photograph a wedding. We got to hang out and catch up with her and her family. Mia enjoyed spending time with their 11 year old kiddo Hanna. She's a tween alright, but super sweet and enjoyed playing with Mia. Sunday, we did breakfast and went to Sculpture Park checking out all the fun contraptions and creations. We said our goodbyes and made the drive back home. Later, had dinner with Jill's parents for the evening.

This week, play date tomorrow with long time friends Hannah and Gracie, I've got a tutoring lesson on Wednesday and hopefully enjoy what we can of the week.  Premier League officially starts this week. Chelsea needs to kick it into high gear and start the season off winning!

That's all for now, thanks for reading!
