I have such a love/hate relationship with the week before school. In one hand, I’m so ready for the routine to return…and, in the other, I’m devastated for our lazy days and late nights to end! I lived the “school schedule” from Kindergarten through my 5th year of teaching! Then, after a short “endless Summer” at home with NO kids in school, we returned right back to the school schedule. I guess because it’s what I’ve known, I find it refreshing that there’s an end…and then a beginning!
So…with the end of Summer, we made memories…
We made s’mores and had epic Star Wars battles in the pool…
We went to Daddy’s soccer game…and stayed up too late…{and Nash got a bug bite…}
We made Flubber and celebrated Robin Williams…
We finished shopping for school supplies…and I celebrated the fact that I saved $19.20 by not buying the school pack… 
Mammer and Slickpaw came in town and spoiled us with “Back to School” shopping…
We ate more TexMex than necessary… 
We got SUPER EXCITED to go to the 2nd grade “Meet the Teacher!” …
And, because it was Wednesday…and Mammer & Slickpaw were in town…my biggest love and I made a date of it… 
Then, just like that, the night before school came…
So, there were basketball battles in the pool…
Some fun fireworks and sparklers… 
And, the after bath tradition of the “Night Before School Surprise Ball!” (Quinn’s 5th, I think!) 
We read our poem from Q’s teacher, placed the confetti under our pillow and said our prayers. 
The Summer memories may have to come to an end…but we’re excited for school memories to begin!
