The Last Hurrah

August 10, 2014August 11, 2015

Well, just like that the 74 days of summer vacation came and went. We crossed nearly everything off our summer bucket list, added a few extras to boot, and were left to just soak up the last dog day of summer. We swam, played a little corn hole and indulged in ice creams at the pool all afternoon…

It’s was kid’s choice supper and I was delighted to put together our favorite BBQ sundaes for the occasion…

And after baths we snuggled up in Mommy and Daddy’s bed to read How Not to Start Third Grade and The Night Before Kindergarten…

The backpacks are packed, lunches are prepped, clothes are laid out and the table is set for our traditional first day of school pancake breakfast. Everything is ready but ME!

Another Wall in the Office
