Over the past few weeks, I have gradually come to accept the fact that summer is coming to an end. Well, the 100+ degree temperatures show no sign of disappearing, but the lazy, sleep-as-late-as-you-want mornings are. We have exactly 10 days until school starts for Avery. The little kids start a week later, but I haven't yet started that countdown. Anyway, our past few weeks have been filled with errand running to acquire new backpacks, lunch boxes, the all-important closed-toed shoes and even a few new outfits. Not to mention haircuts, soccer sign-ups and the quest for a piano teacher.
So now that the countdown is officially here, the pressure is on to squeeze as much fun as possible into these last few days. Part of our weekend plans include shipping the kids off to Jeff's folks (it really is fun for them) while Jeff and I entertain some friends of the grown-up variety out at the lake. Next week, I plan to take the girls to the movies one day, make one last trip to the pool another and even take them out to lunch at a restaurant with a built-in play area (gulp).
Then, bright and early Friday morning, is Meet the Teacher at 8 am. And then our lazy mornings will be no more...until next summer.
