Five days until school starts. Moms are beginning to fall into two camps: giddy and excited or dejected and sad. I'm squarely in the second camp. I love summer. Fall has never come so fast, and suddenly it's time for cool breezes and school shopping.
Which camp are you in? What will you look like on the first day of school?!

You know, I expected to be in the first category, usually I am so done with everybody bickering by now. But I really think I am in the second this year. I guess we have just had so much fun and although the has been bickering my kids are finally old enough to come up with some pretty fun things to do on their own and I really will miss them! We still need to finish up our shopping and Brittany has started the fashion show to figure out which perfect outfit to wear.
No kids here (yet) but I love all change of seasons. Right now I am so loving the idea of the fall stuff... leaves, pumpkins and the Autumn holidays. I only wish this Halloween I would be celebrating it with Tate. (LID March 7 2008).

Circe I would love to meet you sometime before next Wednesday at Nana's now that my kids are back in school.
I am squarely in the middle. I will be the Mom skipping away from school, crying her eyes out.
It stinks to be so conflicted! :>)
Definitely the second. I will really, really, really miss being around Ellison all day. The boys will miss her, too. Good training for when she goes to college! (hee)
I will be crying..... because my kids aren't old enough to actually go to school and winter is coming!!!
Less outdoor activities to keep them occupied.
I was just telling Jer last night how sad I am that it is going to be cold here soon. It seems like summer just started. It has been so nice to be free and play but there is a small part of me that is excited to get back to some sort of organization.
I'm downright depressed. It's a lot of work being a mom in the summer, but the time with kids is so precious. I'm lucky c got a great teacher, but I'm jealous that she gets to spend 7 hours with her and then there are lessons and homework... the quality of time we get to spend together is not the same. The only silver lining is that fall is so beautiful in Utah.
I love Autumn but also feel a bit sad when summer is over..that means winter is coming! I like both camps. Let's get the girls together sometime when the other kids are back in school:)
