With only a few more weeks left of summer break..you can smell the scent of notebook paper and brand new clothes. For my girls, this means uniforms. As we invade target trying despriately to find the right size and style to fit my teeny tiny daughter's waist..I think about how happy I am to return to a normal routine, full of predictablity and security. I am a planner, I do like to be spontaneous about some things (dinner, ect.) but not when it comes to the school year. I have to admit, I was a little nerved about spending 3 months with my kids, Oh I absolutely love them to pieces, but how in the world was I going to keep them busy the whole summer? We are a one income household, I don't have tons of money to waste..I had to get pretty creative to keep my kiddo's busy. We managed well. They went swimming @ their pa-pa's house, we went to visit lots of friends and their kids, spent time in the mall indoor playarea..and hopefully will be making a last blast trip to sea world soon. I think they had a pretty good summer. I did. I am looking forward to the many homework sessions, packing lunchboxes, and signing papers...ahh they grow up so fast!
