last days of summer

Today marks the last day of summer break for the kids.

The kids are super excited to be going back to school tomorrow.

I am actually not all that excited. I am not ready for our carefree

days of summer to be over. I not ready for Jordan to be a full time

1st grader and to have an official middle schooler. The kids continue

to grow up so fast and I want to hang on to relaxed 

slow days with them home a while longer. 

We have had a low key last few days 

before the busy school schedule starts.

Monday was an at home day.

Jordan did lots of yard waste collecting outside, 

snack on the deck while watching the neighbors yard getting mowed, 

we watched a Looney Tunes movie, 

we chased down the Sugar Shack ice cream truck for a snack,

and got to watch the Three Stooges with daddy for the first time. 

He loved the movie and laughed all through it.

 Today both kids had the dentist first thing this morning.

From there we headed into Bellingham so I could exchange

a few things at Old Navy. We then picked up lunch at Subway

and headed to Cornwall park to meet Josh for lunch.

Jordan even got a turkey and cheese sandwich and plain 

milk because he is trying to be healthy. This kid never eats Subway.

Now I can add turkey sandwich into the lunch rotation!

After that we headed home for a bit before taking Jordan

to visit his classroom, meet his teacher and drop off his supplies.

I brought my camera along because he wants to ride the bus tomorrow on his 1st day.

He was so excited to go and had no fears at.

He led the way all the way to class saying hi to every kid he knew.

Once in his classroom went straight to his desk and started pulling out his supplies.

I think he will have no problems going back to school tomorrow.

I think I am the only one who is sad about it.

take a trip Tuesday

On Tuesday Christine and I took the kids on their last field trip of the summer.

We had promised them earlier on that we would return to Lake Samish 

so they could jump off the dock again!

Michelle was able to bring a friend along again.

It was a wonderful afternoon at the lake and a perfect way to end summer break.
