School started back today. It makes me kinda sad. I've enjoyed having my kids around this summer. As I drug myself out of bed before 6 this morning in order to get the kids to school by 7:15 a.m., I thought back to when I was a kid. What happened to summer? We go back to school now in the middle of the hottest part of the year. We should be out on the lake swimming and outside playing until dark, catching fireflies, and enjoying the warm weather. I want three months of summer. What ever happened to going back to school the day after Labor Day and ending it Memorial Day weekend? Our kids don't get the chance to be kids. They go to school at the crack of dawn, come home late afternoon with so much homework, there's no time left to be kids. I hope you can excuse my ranting, but it's just not right!
We did have a wonderful last weekend of summer. We had Emily's birthday party. I cooked a huge meal and then yesterday, we went swimming at the lake before we came home to pack up backpacks and get ready to go back to school. I didn't have much time to scrapbook, but I did make another quickpage.
