School? Bring it on!

For the most part the kids are eager to get back to school--even though Hannah won't admit it, she's ready for her social agenda to be more filled to capacity! Leah is VERY ready to be a 5th grader. Peter is looking forward to his final year of grade school, and I'm looking back wondering what happened to all that time? Wow! But in spite of the disappointment of having to cancel our travel plans earlier this summer, and our van getting totaled at the end, it has been a good summer. The kids really pitched in when it was time for Mark to go back to work as well as having me gone while they were home for the first time. I'm proud of them. No, things didn't always get done perfectly, but lowering one's standards from time to time decreases one's stress level significantly! We'll have to come up with one last hurrah of summer, wish it could be camping, but the vehicle that towed the camper is out of commission, and no longer ours.
