It's really going to happen - 12 hours from now

...and I'll have 2 kids packed off to school. 'Bout time! Then our oldest is off to middle school. Man, when did he get so old?

Friday's orientation over at the middle school was fun... I thought! heh. Unfortunately he is not on the same team as his best friend, but their schedules do have some overlap in the classes at the end of the day. So, all is ok. ;)

Saturday was my full workday at the karate school. I signed up my first student!! Even got him started in class! A guy and his kid just walked in, and I signed them up for the year! Cool! We are getting closer. This time, the school sale will be a done deal. We're busy turning over insurance coverage, utilities bills, phone service, contracts, etc. Next up, signing with the lawyer. We still have much to do to get organized. I have to have new things printed up with our corp. name on it... student sign-up cards, receipts... and the like. Kurt will go visit the cute Russian girlfriend at our bank and see about setting up our corporate banking.... Wow, there certainly is a lot to do when you have your own business!!

Saturday evening we hosted the big von S semi-anual birthday party. 27 guests, 13 of them celebrating bdays! The weather cooperated, Tabi had a puppy friend to play with, overall, the party was a success, and the dog slept well last night!

So, backpacks are loaded down with the necessary supplies, clothes are set out, showers have been taken, 2 boys' heads given a clean, buzz cut..... we're ready! Bring on the big, yellow bus!

Pics to follow, of course!
