We have had the best summer! I think the kids' ages had a lot to do with it. Nearly 2, 6 and 8 are such sweet, sweet ages. We've had a great balance of activity and down time. We've been lax on schedules but not without. I've heard far more laughter and singing than anything else. It's been almost blissful. However, in full disclosure, because the whole point of this blog is to remember my life in everyday snippets, the last week has been a bit rough, not terrible, just enough bickering and whining for me to be sad that summer is over but not bawling my eyes out. Summer is great but so is school and the routine and structure it brings. So we say good-bye summer and hello new adventures!
Tonight we had a good-bye summer dinner. We made a chart with all of the things we liked about summer. Here are a few of my favorites....child spelling included-
