Working and Working

This is a week of work...feels like I could live here and still not get everything done.  It feels like I have been living here some nights this week.  Went home at 2:30am one night/morning!  But one of the reasons I'm here so late is because I'm trying out a new schedule this week.  School starts in 2.5 weeks and I don't want to lose all of my days until then, spending them at the school.  Also, Lucy is spending the week in Narragansett so I'm without a babysitter which means my children would normally spend hours at the school.  So this week, I've been going in no earlier than noon and as late as 3:00pm some days.  I've been making myself get up as early as 9:00am (gasp!) and do things around the house.

We've purchased our school supplies, worked on summer reading packets, enjoyed some good breakfasts, and I've made two desserts that have been on my list for a bit.  Both were delicious! It's nice to feel like your house is in control before you head off to work, especially if you won't be back until the next day!

Desserts (both from Smitten Kitchen, my favorite!):

Grilled Peach Splits

Brown Butter Cherry Bars - I was disappointed to discover that this one only makes an 8x8 pan.  I never normally make intensive desserts that only result in a small amount, but Toby was happy because he was the cherry pitter.

I'll post vacation photos soon....when I'm on my next vacation!
