This break has been a bit different than summer break's of years past. Not sure if it was the need of The Girl to be with her friends more, thus, her family less, or maybe it was the ease at which boredom seemed to settle in. While we enjoyed our break, the down time, and all the freedoms that summer brings with it, it's time. It's time to head back to school, see friends, and find routine again. It makes me sad, for sure. However, I recognize that some summers are just like this. Next summer will be different. Also, it makes what tomorrow brings much more bearable.
As a last ditch effort to soak in as much summer as we could, we headed to the pool, of course! Turns out, I'm not the only mom on the block that had this brilliant idea. Lots of kids, lots of moms, and lots of trying to fit all the fun you can into one afternoon.
Today was one of the few days we didn't have friends with us at the pool. That left a delicious amount of time to sit quietly (well, as quietly as you can with a pool full of children), and read (Have you read The Book Thief yet? It's pretty amazing.).
Even The Little Man took some time to himself instead of choosing to swim.
First and Fourth grade, here we come!
