Weekly Roundup – Back to School Edition
After a fun and eventful summer, it’s nearly time for school to start back up. This week Sons #1 and #2 will to go back to school, whereas Son #3 will have his very first day of kindergarten. They’ll actually spend tomorrow at a waterpark for one last summer blast. After that, they’ll get to meet their teachers on Tuesday at the open house, and Wednesday will be the first day of the new school year.
With that said, here are some articles that caught my eye over the past week.
