Oh September. Probably my favorite month. The true end of summer with school starting but still some final sunny + warm days (but those cool, crisp mornings are everything). And also Fitz’s birthday is such a great way to wrap up the month before we really head into fall + it seems like the holiday season is just rushing in.
As I mentioned in the first day of school posts, the girls were delayed a week in starting school so we had a bit of a longer summer break than anticipated. But it was nice to have some final slow days, especially since Fitz still started school, and the girls and I explored some playgrounds, and the library + donut shop!
We are in the full swing of the school year now, maybe finally getting a hang of the early morning wake-ups to catch the bus and finding all of the cozy sweatshirts + coats for the morning. Our weekends are full of activities for the girls while we also try to hang out as a family (continuing with take-out dinner on Saturdays plus movie night!) but also making sure we can get a few things done around the house too before we are in the rainy season.
I can’t believe it’s October, though. Like, what?!
