Whose excited for school to start? This Mom, that’s who! Even though this picture was their idea, it perfectly illustrates how happy I am to have my house back. What? I don’t have to chase plates of food all over the house, or act as activity coordinator or shuttle bus. I get guilt free time at my desk and some blessed silence in my home. Don’t get me wrong, I love my little darlings but I am happy for the new routine. (And truth be told they are just as excited to start the year too!)
This picture is also perfect in that it shows that yet again that Mother Nature is definitively saying that summer is over by giving us rainy weather for the first day of school. At least the kids won’t be dreaming of swimming at the lake as they gaze longingly outside the classroom windows.
This has been the strangest start to the school year. We had no Meet the Teacher Day. I no longer have an elementary kid. Sniff. Kate is starting her middle school career, Ellie is starting high school and Jill is continuing her high school experience.
Looking forward to a great year!
One last picture that cracked me up. The whole time I was taking the umbrella picture he sat right in front of me. I actually had to take three steps back to get him in this frame. What a goofball!
