Hello!

My family has been busy enjoying the last few weeks of summer before school starts back up. We don't begin until after Labor Day, so we still have a few days of summer vacation left. I recently accepted a part-time job as the Early Childhood Family Education teacher at our local school, so I have been busy getting the classroom set up. I am very excited to be back in the classroom, but I also must admit I am a little nervous to start! Having said that, I have realized how utterly crazy it gets at our house right around dinner time. Does that happen at your house too? It's like the exhaustion from the day has set in and my kids go nuts! I would love to know what you do at your house. Here is what we do to help combat the crazy hour:

Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Soak up those last minutes of summer vacation for those of you who have children starting after Labor Day!
