Looking at the last few days of summer vacation around here…some kids are already back in school. Mine are on the countdown with only a week til we settle back into our routines and they tote all their supplies to school in their new backpacks. Usually this time of year I am ready to send them back, but feel a little sad that our summer days together are ending. This year is no different. As for the boys, despite saying that they are NOT ready to go back to school their actions say differently. They talk about seeing their friends and race to the mailbox each day to see if their ‘teacher letter’ is waiting inside. We’ve had a fun summer, but I know we’ll have a fun fall too.
One of my favorite quotes is by Marc Brown, “Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero.” The other day as the boys were playing superheros with their 97 cent masks from Walmart and pillow case capes I couldn’t help but remember it. I love days when they get all caught up in their imaginations and just play and play.
I have some sessions to share as well as a few other things over the next few days. For now I am going to get something to cool to drink (it’s soooo hot here) and hang out with my boys. ;)
