Summer is Over

It is 8:30 pm on Sunday night.  The girls are in bed, clothes are picked out, lunches planned, lunch notes written, snacks ready and last minute supplies are in the backpacks.  Can you tell it is the last day of summer?  Tomorrow school starts.  Anna is going into 2nd grade and McKenna is starting Kindergarten.  They are both very excited for the new year and really enjoyed meet the teacher night on Friday.  Neither girl has any good friends in their class, but they aren’t too upset.  I will take pictures and post soon so you can see how beautiful they look as they head of to school!

So how have we been spending the last few weeks of summer?  Hanging out with friends.  We have had swim parties and sleepovers, play dates and pedicures :)  We have been getting lots of fun in the last couple of weeks.  The girls have the tans to prove it!  It has been so hot that the pool is the best place to be if you are outside, of course, the temperatures of the water are pushing 90 degrees. 

Tonight we finished off the summer by having a dinner with 2 other families, at 4 pm (we were all planning on having the girls in bed by 8pm at the latest, so we had to eat that early!).  Patrick is out of town on business, so he will miss the first day of school, but the girls called him tonight and I think their excitement carried over the phone.  I am off to do a little work and then to bed – we all have to be up early tomorrow.  See you soon!
