Summer is coming to a end... :( Believe it or not school is starting back up. I think we should go back to the days when we did not start school till after Labor Day. This Monday, August 2nd, a new school year will begin. Which means I have to go back to work. Booo! I do like my job though, with having kids in school it helps a lot working in the cafeteria. Which means I'm off when the kids are out of school, which means I do not have to wonder what to do with them when they are out of school. I've mostly been with them allll summer. Which hasn't been that bad, even though I act like it (in a joking away). We have tried to keep our selves busy this summer.
Mostly in June, we went to the pool (at my mother in law's house, which is just next door) Love that she got that pool 5 years ago. I'm not sure what we would do if she did not have it, I imagine find something to do but it is so nice just to walk, the kids usually rode their bikes, down to her house, and lay by the pool for a couple of hours. Plus it got the kids out of the house and not sit in front of the TV all day. We also would go bike riding when it wasn't too hot, but this summer there hasn't been a lot of days that it wasn't in the mid 90's and the heat index was 105. Wow, its been a hot summer!
July was a busy month for us, it has flown by! First week of July, the kids and I went to FL to visit my parents (hadn't seen them since Christmas) . We had a blast down there, we just wish Deon could had gone too. Going to the beach (no we didn't see any oil on the beach or in the water) and then the kids would go to the pool too, which was just a few steps away from my parent's townhouse. We of course went shopping (how can u not go on vacation and not shop specially in FL lol ) , we out to eat a couple of times and went to the movies one night. It was just great to be able to see my parents. Then after returning from FL we had a week at home trying to catch back up on laundry etc.. Then we headed to church camp. Which this year wasn't far from home. We had a great time there. (Read previous post to find out what what we did at camp) After returning back from camp, I had to go to in service at school. Then Wednesday I had to return to work to get the kitchen ready for Monday and we waited for the food delivery. Which the driver was 2 hours behind so we waited for awhile. But it was good catching up with the ladies that I have not see or talked to all summer.
Last night we went to open house at the school, so the kids could see who that got for homeroom and see who was in their homeroom. There were tons of people there, I have not see the halls so full in a long time. The kids are excited about school, mostly so they can their friends they haven't seen through the summer. Savannah is a little nervous year being in the 6th grade with a schedule. But she'll be fine when she gets used to it, its just all new to her right now of course. She is excited over band. She is wanting to learn to play the flute. We'll see how that goes. She'll also being taking piano lessons again this year, which starts in a few weeks. She enjoys doing that.
Now its Friday, and its my last week day till we start back up with working, homework, studying etc. Last year wasn't to bad, I'm praying this year will go smoothly too. I cannot believe my children are 6th and 4th graders this year, I still remember the day they started kindergarten. They are growing up way too fast!
Well I hope everyone has had a great Summer break.
