Summer, Summer go away, come again another day

Okay so that isn't the song but I am officially ready for summer to be over for many reasons, here are a few:
1. School is back - my kids are bored, officially! They need to be learning and reading (soren), and having their brains and souls nourished. Mom hates to make lunches that is the only negative.
2. Work will slow down - we have been down 2 consultants and we are SLAMMED!
3. I don't have to put on a bathing suit - okay so I never got rid of my winter "fluff" and with the stress lately, I think I have gained more weight. WW here I come.
4. Our electric bill will be normal again
5. We can go on bike rides again - it is too hot in Wildomar to go on a bike ride.
6. no more bathing suits- oops said that one again....

So today is "meet the teacher day" - Isabella will have her same teacher as last year, Mrs. Willis and Soren will have Mrs. Miguel. Both kids are in combo classes, I'm sure there will be lots of posts during the year about how that is going. I'm going to be positive and looking forward to the new challange. Parker and Soren will be in a class together. The kids are excited to pick out their desk and see their classrooms.

Cami and I are excited to meet the teachers today as well - as the Pres and VP of PTF, one of our goals was to give each teacher a gift card to start the school year (I will post the cute card we made), so today we will be giving each teacher a $50.00 gift card to A+ teacher supply. We are so excited that the PTF was able to give this gift today. This will be our 2nd year with PTF and I must say our first year was quite successful, against some of the negative nellies that didn't think it would work out. Our mom has got to be so proud of us right now!!

We aren't going camping this weekend....so we have all weekend to get ready for school.

Just heard the breaking news - John McCain picked Sarah Palin to be his running mate, she is the governer of Alaska - WOW, you go John, good for him.

Have a great long weekend!
