First: saddness to see the summer ending. This summer has definitely been interesting...I am not sure I would recommend having a baby the day school gets out! It makes for a long month and a half when your kids want to be entertained, but you don't feel like entertaining. The last half of the summer was much better.
Second: I love warm weather. I love the fall even more, but it never stays long enough. I am not ready to brave the freezing cold...and I know that is coming. I also love nights of playing outside until 9:00....the days are getting shorter, and that means cold weather is coming :(
Third: I am so ready for a schedule! I love spontaneity....but I think I love having a schedule a little more! It makes it so my kids go to bed at a decent hour, we get back on our routine of scriptures, prayers, exercise (oh, wait...haven't done that yet!), and although it is crazy....it seems normal!
My kids were so ready for school to start, they were craving a schedule as well. Too bad everyday cannot be the first day of school, where they are so excited they jump out of bed, make their bed, get their clothes on, and ready for school before I even ask!
Halle went to school for 30 minutes to meet her Kindergarten teacher....such a tease to do to a child who has been waiting for years to go to school like her brother and sister. So, she will start next week - so anti-climatic! (I can't believe she is in Kindergarten....I remember taking Kason to Kindergarten like it was yesterday - and now he is in 5th grade!)
So, here is to schedules beginning. I am sure I will write a post in a couple of months about how crazy our schedule is and that I am ready for summer again. But until then.......Happy Back To School everyone!

I hate schedules. I am too forgetful for them. That is also why I have less children than you. I am too forgetful to have any more than I have. Love ya! Your kids look so cute all dressed up for school!
I can't wait for school to start and calm to return. You would think with all the school and sports and lessons that the school year would be crazier, but I get at least 2 hours three days a week with no kids! And THAT is heavenly.
I love weddings and family time. cute pix. You're too funny, 5 kids is pretty wild, we've given up on presentable family pic. oh well, isn't that what photo-chopping's for? I'm so thrilled to finally get my kids to the first day of school tomorrow too!! Summers are fun, but only for so long....
How exactly do you do three girls hair before school??
And that is the longest word verification I have ever seen
I can't believe that Kason is in 5th grade! That is crazy. Those pictures of Curtis's wedding are so cute and I love the comments. It's sad that I have already given up on the perfect picture and I only have 2 kids.
