38 days til School Starts

I checked the calendar today and we're over half-way through the summer already. The boys get 80 days out for the summer, and we're down to only 38 left til school starts. How did the summer go by so fast???

It's been a good summer. Our summer babysitter ~ oops ~ I mean our "summer child care provider" has been awesome, fabulous, unflappable. She has taken the kids to swimming lessons, the movies, Chuck E. Cheese, museums, bike riding. She has played too many board games to count, and supervised baking cookies, biscuits and cinnamon rolls. She comforted the kids when we tragically lost our cat. We're going to miss her when she has to leave.

But we still have 38 days! We have a couple of trips still ahead and plenty of days to just hang out at home before we have to start finding backpacks and lunch boxes, sharpening pencils and labeling glue sticks.
