I'm not referring to Alex and his autism, he's never been a 'spinner' though he is all about repetition and goes around and around and around some more...
I'm not referring to little miss Belle and how much she loves to Dance, though today was her last day of dance class for the summer before she switches to a new school.
I'm referring to me, spinning in circles and barely coming up for air these past few days - the last few days of summer. Next week this time both of my kids will be in school and maybe - just maybe- things might slow down a bit. Maybe.
These past few days have been hectic to say the least.
Alex has been going to summer camp, which he is enjoying and Belle and I have been scurrying around town running errands, conducting research on a new dance school, picking up last minute back-to-school necessities, and then some. But hey, by some miracle of miracles I have somehow managed to go out 2 nights in a row with friends and without kids - and I've needed that... even if one night was going to see the most silly and ridiculous movie made ever - that would be Mamma Mia. The subject of which could be an entire blog in itself.. instead I will just make one comment. Pierce Brosnan really should have gotten some body waxing done beforehand.
Today was all around pretty good for me the kids. Pretty darn good, I'd day.
Me, because as I mentioned - I got to step out for a few hours with friends. Yay to that!
Alex... because they spent the day at the beach with camp and he's
so free and happy playing in the sandbar and splashing in the waves. After camp we came home for a quick bathroom break (he detests public bathrooms - can't blame him) and then headed out to music therapy. Again, he wasn't real thrilled with the singing but he did enjoy a song and game that they did that involved tossing balls around to the music. The music teacher did a lot of silly dancing around this time - which again wasn't his thing, but what he did love was playing on the keyboard to accompany them. 
Belle - because while it was a little sad as today was her last day at her dance class before we switch schools (because of distance and her preschool schedule) was such a good girl today. In prep for going to school she went and got a haircut. Actually only her second haircut she has ever had (not counting the time when my Mother in Law snipped her curls in the back to try to make them even). Our trek into dairy-free for Belle has been difficult at best though we are getting somewhere. Tonight she asked me for "milk that doesn't make my tummy hurt", and happily drank down her DariFree Chocolate. So, it costs a fortune but she'll drink it and so it's all good and dare I say it.. ..on the up and up (I sure hope..). DariFree - you make my babygirl happy now.. if you haven't tried it.. you MUST.
And, I'll leave this on quite possibly the most circular part of my day.
Do you think this person likes golf much?
My kids called it an 'igloo' mailbox!

I'm very glad you came out with us last night. It was good to get out and great to see you.
Let's no wait so long to do it again. My house is cheap!
That mailbox is insane. In my neighborhood, the Covenant Enforcement Committee (I call them the curb-appeal nazis) would have that person flogged.
That back to school transition always sends me spinning (sometimes out of control) too. I'll be happier when we are well entrenched in the routines of the school year. Glad to hear you got a break and glad to hear everyone's day went well. We all need those good days to keep us going :0) Love the igloo mailbox!
That mailbox is something else!
Bella looks so sweet getting her hair cut. And it's really long!
Who knew when you were doing that Dari Free review, how close to home it would come.
Maybe you can find it in bulk somewhere.
At least it's healthy!
Hope things settle down for you now tha the school year is starting. But I hope we can get together too!
I have never tried the chocolate flavor for Matthew. Might have to look into that. I get coupons at ebay for soymilk and wipes. It helps to get like 10, 15 or 20 at one time and buy in bulk.
I clipped Matts hair today, he cannot do the chair at the barber, one time tried and it was not a hapy outcome, he almost ran out of the place and this was on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.
Oh yeah that mailbox is quite nifty, only in New Jersey would you see that.
There's lots of spinning and running in circles going on at our house :) (hence the url for my blog).
Wow, pls don't let my dh see that mailbox...
