Routine?

I am trying to get back into a routine of things, but I am not having much luck. I froze corn last week, which is out of routine. The boys are begging to have friends over to play. They seem to be fighting with each other more. And in nine days they start school.... I remember from last year that they started to fight more, too, in August. It's time for the school routine. I am not sure that I am ready for that either. So how are your August days being filled?
