check up, check in

i just updated my reading list and realised how much i have been reading this summer. i think i have forgotten a few!! and i have at least half a dozen more that i want to read before the kids go back to school in a few weeks. at least i can finish the ones i have started :-)

we've been spending time in the pool, having game days, watching doctor who and i think, all in all, having a good summertime. we still have our week at the NC beach next week. hopefully the weather will be good for a couple of the days, enough for us to swim in a warm pool. but it's our end of summer week...and it makes me sad!

back to school is on the horizon. we have new school supplies, new shoes, one new school for one son, and one son who is actually anticipating an AP class (and who will graduate in 2 years).

i'm still facebooking, but feel strange putting too many bloggy details there.
