this summer night

I was reminded the other day that we only have a month before summer is officially over and school begins. I can't say that I was really all that surprised, I mean, school always starts is august, but I was surprised. I feel like summer just got started and its hard to believe it's already beginning to wind down. I'm not ready to say goodbye and move onto schedules, homework, & early nights.



But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself--I have the tendency to do that from time to time. Funny that I'm lamenting we only have a month left when a month is a huge chunk of time. So I'm choosing to forget that school is on the horizon and consciously deciding to focus on the moment at hand--this summer night. Listening to the fireworks in the distance (state holiday tomorrow), while playing a serious game of tag with uncontrollable laughter, plus watching the sun set in the distance made for a very memorable night with my girls.

A month is still a month. I plan to enjoy each and every day.

How is your summer shaping up?
When does school start for you?

We are trying to decide when we are going to start. I think August 15th, though a part of me wants to wait until after Labor Day!Not sure yet what we will do, but thinking earlier rather than later so we can take off more time over the course of the year! (we homeschool!).
