Whew - every time I sit down to post these days I can't believe how much time has slipped away. When the summer began I was nervous about how we would get through all of these unstructured days but we've been so busy that the handful of unstructured days we've had have felt like pleasant little breaks (well, except for the many many minutes my kids spend screaming at each other and refusing to clean up their messes).
Tomorrow we begin two more weeks of swimming lessons for Harper (four for Michael, but he only goes twice per week). The week Harper's swimming ends, school beings!
So I'm spending the next two weeks gathering and filling out forms, getting doctors' signatures, labeling supplies, etc., as well as spending plenty of time shuttling kids to swimming lessons, parks, the library, and maybe one more zoo trip.
Is your summer going out with a bang or a whimper?

I'm still trying to figure out WHERE most of the summer has gone. We were planning a 2-day beach trip beginning tomorrow morning but now Chloe spiked a fever last night and it continued today. So I might not get the bang I was hoping for...sigh Hopefully we can just pack as much summer fun as possible into these last few weeks. August 29th (first day of Kinder!) is coming fast!
I am so sad there are only 2 weeks left. We've had a fun filled summer but every year I wonder where it went...sigh.

I am guessing a bang, depending on how the delivery goes! although, since we aren't in school yet, summer doesn't really end for us until we can't go outside anymore without donning heavy coats!
BOTH. There's a ton going on---enough to make me whimper!
We're ending summer with two weeks of swim lessons, too! (but we're in the 2nd week). Our district starts school next week but Katy does gentle start so she only goes one day next week. Can't believe it!
So, um...feeling like a newbie here, I should label her school supplies? Seriously? All of them?
I suppose a bang of panic, if you will. I can no longer have my head in the sand about school starting, and every time I think about it my head- and heart- hurts.
On a related note, I cannot believe I have to label every single crayon and marker. But that's what the supply list says... Can't they just share crayons?!
I am always glad when school starts back to give order and routine to our days. BUT I am also somewhat sad that my children are growing up, growing away from me. And yet, I look forward a bit to when I can paint the walls and they will stay clean. Mixed feelings all around.....
