A beautiful long weekend....

....before routine begins again!!!
What a way to end the summer! A perfect long weekend with the perfect weather, sunny and warm!

We all waited a long time for some good summer weather that lasted more than a day or two. This last week and especially the long weekend brought us the perfect weather to enjoy time with family and friends.

But the labour day long weekend brings to an end the summer of spontaneous plans, weekends away and days lounging in a park or at the beach. For many, tomorrow means back to work, back to school and back to routine.

As much as I loved the summer time lazy days, I do look forward to routine again with the kids. Weekdays will mean early wake up times for me and the kids, making lunch for the oldest and getting her off to school, homework checking and planning dinners (eek!!).

Along with the start of school also bring the start of sports and other extra curricular activities. For those with young kids these activities usually take place during the day or on weekends.... for those of us with older kids these activities take place after school, and sometimes on the weekend.

This is where I find my I really feel the end of summer. My weeknights are filled with trips into the city to take my oldest to her baton lessons, 3 nights a week to be specific. Having a competitive athlete going to school, training 3 days a week and practicing at home is truly defines what it means to be back in a routine!

So now we move on to fall. And with fall and routine brings a whole new lot of momstown fun! Our September calendar is chock full of great activities for all our moms and kiddies. So as we return to routine be sure to get involved with all the things that are happening this month!!!

Welcome September!
