and i'm okay with it.
i am always so sad to see summer go....it's my favorite time of year.
but i tell you what, having a quiet afternoon yesterday sure did ease the pain. ;)
i almost forgot what that was like.
the boys started school on tuesday so monday night was our back to school celebration.
and by celebration i mean, we grilled out, ate outside & had rice krispie treats.
maybe i was just trying to get myself excited?
they are actually way super excited about school.
we also spent some time before bed praying over the boys and over their school year.
it was all way more rushed and crazy that i would have liked but you know, that's life.
things the boys are excited about:
*going back to providence {two days at school, three days of homeschool}
*their new kicks {which i made them wait until the first day of school to wear}
*being in musical theatre
*being in second and fourth grade.
i'm glad i have a few more years with my sawyer and ruby home.
we had a great morning getting them off to their first day.
thankfully, AJ has been able to walk them in with us to their first day of school every year since they started.
i love our little family traditions.
nice face, sawyer.
yes we are all wearing school colors.
we're dorks like that.
well i am, and AJ obliges me. :)
there's going to be a bit of an adjustment period for us....letting go of the lazy days of summer and now homeschooling again, but we're gonna hang in there and make it fun.
what about y'all? are you back to school? or are you still livin' it up summer style?
got any fun back to school traditions you want to share?

So, I think all of your boys grew a foot since the last time I saw a picture of them all standing side by side. Approximately.
ReplyDeleteTruly. Somehow my baby is about to be as tall as his mama.
DeleteYou're boys are getting so big!! What a beautiful family you have! I have just always loved reading your blog. School hasn't started here yet. We start back up on September 4th. I'm going to miss summer =( Winters here in Maine are just soooo long. But we'll survive =)
ReplyDeleteOh I wish mine weren't starting til sept.!!! Thank you so much for your sweet words! They mean so. Much. Enjoy the rest of your summer!!
DeleteYou have a beautiful family! My kiddos go back to school on Monday. I'll have a 5h grader, a 2nd grader, and a Kinder. This will be my first year with all three in school and my only year with them all in the same school. It's going to be quite an adjustment for all of us!
ReplyDeleteOoohhh what are you going to do with yourself? That sounds good and hard all at the same time! Enjoy your last few days of summer....and some sweet quiet next week! Blessings...Sara
