With Kylee Madison starting the 4th grade this week I think its safe to say that summer is coming to an end. While we enjoyed it there are a few perks to the return of the school year. Don't get me wrong I am not looking forward to dealing with homework, projects, grumpy kids in the morning, packing lunches etc but there is something about the start of the new school year that is refreshing.
- The Early bed times: Getting a little me time back!
- The bank account can get a break now that school supplies have been purchased, Hallelujah!!
- The grocery trips will be less frequent, SCORE!
- The kids will be LEARNING for 8 hours a day instead of needing to be entertained or eating you out of the house or worse saying the dreaded I'm bored.
- Football Season is starting...Yes GO BUCKS!
- Seeing old friends that we missed over the summer
- Meeting new friends
- Kids sports start back up again. Being a cheerleader every Saturday morning is something I look forward to all week.
- Crock pot dinners can make a come back: I love Simplicity!
- Fall is coming: there is something refreshing about a cool crisp morning, a hoodie and nothing beats a good bon fire.
Here is to summer coming to an end and a new school year beginning. I just hope that here in North Carolina we actually get some fall like weather again sooner rather than later.
Kylee's first day of 4th grade ( Cant imagine she left home wearing a 'cheerleading' sweatshirt can you say Cheer on the brain ALL the time. Love that girl. Stay turned next week for our exciting middle school debut!
