School

It's over.

Summer. It's gone.

They are back to school

*sigh*

I am not one to wait excitedly for school to start.

I am one to wait happily for school to be out so that my house is filled with noise and mess again.

And no, I'm not kidding.

I will miss them.

I will miss Charlie and Kate constantly laughing and teasing eachother.

I will miss finding Julia snuggled in some corner of the house, reading a book.

I will miss Anne Marie entertaining Henry and Nora, watching out for them, loving them.

I know they need to go.

I know they get a better education than if I homeschooled them.

Not because of homeschooling, but because I would goof off with them too much and they would never learn.

So my love and my joy headed out the door this morning.

Only 7 hours until they return.

*sigh*

And for tomorrow, our family theme for the year.

Aren't you excited?
