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!
