Summer Fun

I was at Wal-Mart tonight. We needed school supplies to donate at Vacation Bible School. I hate it that back to school supplies are on sale in July. It is worse than Christmas decorations out in September. We just got into the summer. A few weeks, the pool, then family vacation and already we are counting down. Today, we have already reminded our children to make a list of things they wanted to do before school starts back so we can make time for it and help them. Of course, i just remember hanging out and not needing to be in school and have homework. We didn't talk to most of our classmates all summer unless they were on our streets and so we all caught up. Now, it seems the expectations are big. This year we did try to leave the summer open and not get involved in too many camps. Give the children time to breath and Stephanie time to get some babysitting jobs. Of course, they have pretty much hung around here, but that is ok. Hopefully, they will find the first day of school exciting. I was remembering always being a little sad at the end of the summer.
