Happy Monday! Happy new week! Just a few things I am thinking about on this summer day…
… Last week we celebrated two birthdays — 22 and 19! The time just flies, doesn’t it? I used to get so annoyed when the kids were small and people would tell me that, but they were right. And now I get to be the annoying one saying it to young moms.
… Kind of bummed that I didn’t get my act together in time to enter something into the County Fair, which starts tomorrow. Hopefully next year!
… Bittersweet that N. heads back to campus on Saturday. They are so ready to get back to school, though, and that softens the blow. This week the band is doing a mini-tour and having a blast. I’m enjoying their in-between-time camping out in our yard. They are all a bunch of very sweet guys!
… Vacation next week! To say I am looking forward to dipping my toes in the ocean is an understatement. Also: Papa Gino’s pizza and the Edward Gorey House!
… And then Community Day (does your town have one?) and Labor Day and Poof! The summer is over. It’s pretty nice that schools in our area still wait until after Labor Day to start. Not going to lie… I love it.
The next couple of weeks sure do have a lot happening, and it is all good stuff, but I am so ready for the fall and for a little more structure in our days. And of course, all the fabulous fall things like apple and pumpkin-flavored everything, cozy blankets, scary movies, craft fairs, twinkle lights, fabulous foliage, oversized sweatshirts… I could go on and on!
Wishing you a JOYFUL week, my friends!
