Yes, I know it's only July and summer goes until the end of September, but my kids start school next Monday. Time is running out!
This morning I took Tyler and Caely on a day date. We dropped the two youngest at Shalynn's and headed to the bowling alley. I love that they've had free bowling all summer long!
Tyler won the first game, and you should have seen the size his head got too. Okay, not really. He was actually a very good winner. We ate fries, joked, talked. It was really nice.
I love doing things with my kids. I'm a little sad that school is starting next week. It's been nice to have the older ones home so I can run somewhere by myself and do it quickly. Who's going to babysit for me?
I've been so busy these last few weeks with company, PTA, scouts, birthday party planning, life. I feel I've missed most of the summer. We went swimming last week for the first time all summer break, how sad is that?
After our date, I headed to the school to put up two bulletin boards for back to school with Shalynn. Have I mentioned how great she is??? Anyway, check them out. They are the first ones you see in the main hall next to the display case. If you like them, it was all me. If not, it was Shalynn :). It was just one more step in school REALLY starting. Do you think if I didn't put up the bulletin board they would postpone starting school?!
I'm just realizing that although I am excited for Alexa to go to the big school, it's just that much closer to her being a big kid. Soon that will be Patch, and everyone will be gone! Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for this to happen. It's just happening SO fast. Tyler is a big 5th grader, one more year after that and I'll have a kid in junior high! Does that make me old?
I'm looking forward to the rest of this week. Hopefully we'll fit in another swim day and a movie (let me know if you want to play). I'll let you know after next week if I am surviving without them.

That's right! You are A trackers!! I feel like our summer just started.. you know on the 2nd of July but we've been playing since the beginning of May (that's when family came to town AND they are still here!!). We have another month before we go and I'm already sad - we've had too much fun and I actually love the fun too!!!
You have not been too busy, well maybe for the swimming pool, but not for other activities! I bet if you ask your kids how was their summer, they'd tell you, "The best summer ever!" Because.. you are a great and fun Mom and you even made time for the PTA!! ;p
