Summer Lazy Days Are Coming To An End....

Well, not LAZY exactly, but you know.  I sometimes think we are BUSIER in the summer but there's still an air of laid back, fun loving, spontaneous moments in the summer.  And there's the water; whether beach or pool, and that sometimes is the most relaxing best part to me.  So, no, not lazy, but go at your own pace maybe. 

Three or so weeks before school starts and I can feel the countdown beginning.  Soon to get the kids back on a night time routine, getting to bed on time, no distractions, getting serious again.  Maybe that brings everything back into sharp focus.  Have to be on time, soccer starts up, and I think the Littlest will get to play this season.  I know he'll tear it up on the field.  Lord that child scares me sometimes.  All of that ahead and more.  The Oldest will get settled into a new school and so will the Littlest.  I cherish these days yet I dread them as well.  Funny how it's all diametrically opposed, you know?

I promised to take us all to the OuterBanks for a beach day.  We'll get up early and go, hopefully be gone all day.  Do whatever we want.  Probably bring Harley too.  Just go.  Go, drive, laugh, sing, swim, eat on the beach, bring a big cooler and hit the road.  I bet we come home with some tired kids.  One I know will fall asleep.  He doesn't usually fall asleep in the car but with all that fresh air, playing in the waves, and decent drive, he'll be tuckered out.  No doubt.

Summer is my fav, but you know, so are the Holidays.  Guess I like this life, no matter the season.
