Good morning! I am working on changing the name of this community - I know many of our kids have "aged out" of 4&5. Any suggestions?
Roll call questions:
Name: Haylen
Kids/school plans:
DD1 : 7.5 years old, starting 2nd grade next week
DD2: 4, starting pre-k in Sept
Current Biggest Challenges:
Dinner. It's over 100 here, I'm tired and we've been doing take-out & pizza too much
Exercise. I have not been to yoga or walking in 2 weeks. I feel gross/stressed/trouble sleeping
Best summer moment so far:
A day on the beach with 4 other families from DD's school. Fun group of parents/kids. The dads took the kids exploring so moms had almost an hour of kid-free time!
Who is next? Lurkers, please chime in - it's easy and you can post "anon" if you're shy

Kids/school plans:
DS (4; will be 5 9/3) starts kindergarten 9/4
DD (2) no school yet
Current Biggest Challenges:
"Dinner. It's over 100 here, I'm tired and we've been doing take-out & pizza too much." Same here. I hate to cook too so that doesn't help matters.
Exercise. It's too hot to walk during lunch. I do walk a bit in the mornings by getting off my train one stop earlier and walking the rest of the way to work.
Best summer moment so far: Has nothing to do with the kids. For our anniversary, grandma watched the kids overnight and we went to Tahoe. We lounged on the beach, had "adult time" and went to dinner and a show.

DD1: 13YO, starting 8th Grade
DS1: 8YO, starting 3rd Grade
DS2: 7YO, starting 1st Grade
DS3: 5YO, starting Pre-K (this is his 3rd year. He is very speech delayed.)
DD2: 1YO, still at home
Current Biggest Challenges:
We have a few things going on. I have been trying to get the kids back in the routine of going to bed earlier and getting up earlier. They are not liking it. This morning wasn't as bad though. Glad we still have a few days before school starts.
Exercise. It has been too hot to do formal exercise, but I have been weeding the garden. That has to count for something. It has actually cooled down for us a little bit. We are in the 90's. I normally walk over my lunch so am excited to be able to start that again.
Best summer moment so far:
Going and getting the kids a trampoline on July3rd. We set it up that night then the kids brought out their pillows and blankets and we laid their and watched the fireworks going off all around us. Even the dog joined us. It was just a quiet moment. No one was arguing or fighting. Wish I had more time like that.
What about "Moms talking" or Mom's Break Time.

I think that's an awesome idea to change the board name.
Kids/school plans:
Emily : 7.5 years old, starting 2nd grade
Elizabeth : 5.5 (oh my, I just realized she is 5 and a half) years old, starting kindergarten
Current Biggest Challenges:
Seeing my girls go back to school next week.
Logging my food and eating better.
Transitioning grandparents into a nursing home, and adjusting to being a caregiver from a state away.
Best Summer moment so far:
June - weather was nicer and we went to Six Flags a lot.
July - hot, so we went to the community pool a lot.
for me - started a spinning class, and found a form of exercise I absolutely LOVE.

Getting the kids to bed on time. Summer is for fun & there's lots to do.

Eating badly with the fair & just being busy so we have been eating out too. I still haven't gotten back down to pre- vacation weight.
Best summer moment so far:
Our vacation to the water park & the zoo. Going to the pool & seeing how much they have progressed with their swimming skills.

Name: Deb
Kids: DD 6 starting 1st grade
DS almost 3 no school plans
Current challenges: Getting everything set up for first grade. WIth DD's allergy I need to get allergist visited, new scrips for epi pens, new health plans in place with the health staff, and meet with her new teacher to go over how to keep her safe and start building that relationship. Her new teacher has already called me, so we are off to a good start.
Best summer moment: It's been pretty boring here, I'd say playing in the pool every afternoon makes us all pretty happy.
I also agree on changing the name - especially because I don't want to go to any other board lol. (That elementary board is not much fun)...
