Goodbye, Summer

Everyone is back in school this morning. Yes. BACK in school. I know in many parts of the country today is the first day of school, but Big Sister and Little Sister started a month ago. Baby Girl does go to her preschool today for the first time. She was ready. Watch out, teachers! She'll keep you on your toes.

We had such a good time with the family here for Labor Day weekend. 

But it was so hot, the only sane place to be was in the lake.

Or, in the pool. With little ponies on life guard duty.

There was porch time, too. Games of all sorts. 

From Scrabble to Exploding Kittens to Twister.

Then it was time to get back in the lake.

I would not have won any awards for my cooking this weekend. 

Thankfully, brunch was just a boat ride across the lake. 

And the pizza food truck fed us one night, too. Best. Pizza. Ever.

A hammock is always fun. But it was even hot in the shade this time.

So they went back in the lake.

The teenagers were so good to the little folks. 

Letting them hang out with them. Playing with them.

Loved seeing the teenage boyfriend sitting in the floor,

working a princess puzzle with the little girls.

I held down the shade. Someone had to do it.

And just like that...in a blink...

summer was over.

It was a good one.
