It's hard for me to imagine that I started this little blog in May and now the summer is almost over and school starts in 11 days {for us} I know it sounds terrible but I am looking forward to having it start. More for the structure than anything. My daughter thrives on school, loves it! And my son's preschool has done wonders for him. And I know that I can have a little extra prep time to have our time together a bit more memorable. I wish we could keep the Kindergarten schedule forever though. I think I will miss that a bunch.
I also am looking forward to fall. I love fall! I also feel like I cook so much better when the weather is cooler. I make homemade soup 2-3 times a week from September to May. I cannot wait! Plus, I think I dress better in the fall too. Maybe next summer I will rock a slimmer figure and be sad to see summer go. But I will still want soup and sweaters for sure.
In this last week of fun and business I have quite a bit to get ready for. Somethings have already been crossed out. Here are some things I need to do/plan
-we must get snow cones. Why haven't we yet!?
-finish buying last few school supply items
-organize a homework plan and station that for sure needs one or two of these from Ballard Designs
-get 2-3 stools for super high counter in kitchen.
{so lovely via decorpad}
-get ready for the new school year celebration feast ala NieNie.
{ A little bit of trivia...that day was my first ever to read her blog. Just four days before the accident. I had spent those four days reading every last post because I was hooked and inspired. I went on her site to read the last few months I had left, only to read about her crash. }
Last year was our first annual. We will probably have a beautiful spaghetti dinner. Because that is what my kids ask for on special occasions. But don't worry, I might make the best spaghetti you've ever had. Come over for dinner and I will show you!
And finally
-get the darn laundry under control!!!! Laundry is my Everest!
Anything else I should add to the list to soak up this last bit of time with the kiddos?
we were supposed to make popsicles this summer but still haven't got around too it...the other thing i never seem to get around to? laundry. she is my everest as well.
