After tons of fun and tons of kids around, the summer is over and I am still standing.
This morning met with mixed emotions from the kids, while I calmly anticipated the silence.
James was bummed…too early to wake up, not wanting to eat yet, picking a shirt to reflect this…but a slight pick up of his mood when he thought of seeing friends.
Kate was dutiful and happy. Careful to pick out her clothes and jewelry. Adjusting her Safety Patrol belt and practicing the pledge.
Alexander was excited and full of energy–playing outside, riding his bike, and still–ready to leave over an hour early!
The dogs and I had a nice walk this morning and have been enjoying the quiet all day.
