Is summer really over?!

Days can get so busy when you stay at home with the kids and the animals. Between playing and art projects, giving them all baths and cooking meals or making snacks it's amazing I even have time to get ready in a day. I really can't believe summer vacation is already coming to an end once more. Feels like yesterday I embarked on this Summer with eagerness and an open mind to having all the fun humanly possible in 2 months. But...big surprise I blinked my eyes and poof it is over. We are officially on the 8 day count down to the first day of school for my 7 and 6 year old. I am so excited for them to start back (give me a break and some me time lol) but also to meet their teachers and see old friends as well as make new friends. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that I am raising well rounded lil people who can go out into the world and conquer it as they see fit but with a well rounded head on their shoulders and a soul filled with confidence, understanding and love. You know sometimes I think I am doing some thing right ;) After all when you have a childhood like mine isn't the object of parenting your child to make them the absolute best human being they can be.
