We've had nearly 12 weeks of summer vacation, and, if I'm being honest, I have to say, "That's long enough!" Here are my thoughts at the end of summer (they're pretty random):
1. The kids have to get on the bus at 7:02 a.m. That's when we were getting up last year!
2. Cambry is going to have get used to wearing shirts again - she's pretty good at just throwing some shorts on!
3. We willl; go through a LOT LESS toilet paper once school begins! It seems like I am always buying toilet paper.
4. I'll miss the flexible evenings when we didn't have to worry about bedtimes, but I will embrace the structure and consistency that school brings!
5. I'll also miss reading "Little House on the Prairie" books out loud. We got through: On the Banks of Plum Creek, By the Shores of Silver Lake, The Long Winter, and Little Town on the Prairie this summer.
6. Cambry says she's excited about Kindergarten - I'm curious to see how she'll do when the bus actually pulls up to our driveway. I hope she and the teacher get along. Cambry tends to have her own ideas (and her own pace) about how to do things, and that might not always work with Mrs. Janzen.
7. I'm subbing on the 2nd day of school - really! I'm subbing in 1st grade. I'm a little nervous because I didn't sub at all last year. I hope it goes okay!
8. After 12 weeks of summer, today, for the first time, Caiden and Cambry went outside on their own and did something together. No one came back to the house crying, and I got the floors cleaned in peace. It took 12 weeks for that to happen!
