.............and so the summer comes to an end...........................We are very ready to start creating a life here now. This has to have been the busiest summer we have had in many many years. It was wonderful to have all our friends and family come to visit - through the whole summer there were only three weekends that someone wasn't visiting and of those three weekends we spent two of them back in St. Louis. We are whooped!!!
This weekend we took a short moment to ourselves. None of us were doing fabulously because the school routine has changed our body clocks and we are wiped out - the thought of packing up and traveling was overwhelming and I found myself in tears - so we stopped for a few days and just did stuff around here to give ourselves a break. It was nice and it made it easier to travel and do the things we needed to do (fascia boards on Nanny's house, visits, birthdays, etc.). In the end it was a very nice visit - the kids saw cousin's and grands, we saw friends, had sleep overs, attended a party and got little sleep. What a nice way to end the summer and start the school year permanently. Still, by the time we got home yesterday afternoon we all just kinda sat (well, I went to Michael's to use a 50% off coupon - then sat). This morning our bus changed a bit and the kids are being picked up thirty minutes earlier - so by tonight we are going to be really whooped! I predict an evening of homework, Little House on the Prairie (thanks to the Papa's for this) and little movement.
We will now start all the building - PTO starts, classwork starts, there are Pampered Chef parties to atend, yards to landscape, brithdays to plan - So when does Fall really start?
