back to the routine

It's been a busy week at our house as we've all settled back into our routines (post holiday break).  The kids started back to school on the 9th and they were ready.  Dance class started back up for Meredith.  Thomas resumed the All Star Readers book club at the library.  Homework was worked on all week.  A painter came two days to paint the stairwell and the master bathroom.  We spent an afternoon at SeaLife Aquarium.  Thomas ended the week with a playdate at the park with his friend, Tommy, from school.  The first week back after a vacation is always tough.  We were ready for a quiet weekend focused on family. 

Yesterday we went out for brunch in Encinitas and stopped by the Farmer's Market for some fresh produce.  Today we spent a few hours at Legoland riding the rides.  We all enjoyed the mellow family weekend.
