they are back to school!!!!!
This morning our three went back to school. They are happy and excited and momma is a bit down in the dumps. I can't believe how fast the summer went! We have had a great summer. The kids have been able to relax, enjoy life and not have the pressure of school and music lessons and all the rest of the structure that goes with being in school. That is over for a while. I suppose it is time, but it sure came quick.
Suzanna was doing chores last night with me and we were talking about how hectic the next month will be. We will start music lessons after the Labor Day weekend, and that makes one more thing on the schedule. But the biggest thing on the horizon is getting ready for our county fair.
Ours is the last one in the state and runs the last week in September. That makes the next month very busy. Most of the projects that could be done ahead of time are done. But there are still heifers to lead and a rabbit to work with each day, or close to it. That all gets added to homework and music practice. As tough as it is, I wouldn't trade the time of year our fair happens. Oh yes, we can have ANYTHING when it comes to weather. I showed my heifers in a snow storm one year. Another year there were tornado warnings during the afternoon I was showing my horse. But more likely we will get a couple days of rain (three years ago it rained EVERY day!!), or a couple really cold days.....but then there are the perfect, crystal clear fall days. There's nothing like strolling down the midway to get your fair food on a day like that. Those days make up for a lot of the nasty stuff.
So off we go, charging into another year. Wasn't Suzanna just starting Kindergarten a few short years ago???? And it had to be just last week the twins went off for their first day!?!?!?!?! No, she is in 6th grade this year and they are in 3rd. All to fast and going faster!!!!!!
