And just like that, school is back in session. 

Our first grader had a great first day, and the sweet smell of weekday routines is a welcome addition to the schedule.

We also treated ourselves to a week-long dumpster rental that's sitting out front and going to get filled up with all kinds of things that have accumulated in our house since we moved in a few years ago. 

Very, very excited about that.

Labor Day is just around the corner!!

Let's get into it.
