the end of the summer. i have mixed feelings. on the one hand, of course, im celebrating the fact that i will once more have some peace and quiet during the day. (i really, really, really require peace and quiet. funny that i had four children.) but really, that doesn’t measure up against the fact that i will have to wake up at 6:30am, make lunches, fight against the clock every morning, drive kids at three different times in the morning and the afternoon, deal with paperwork, homework, mckenna’s behavior issues, bus driver issues, teacher issues, friend issues, etc etc etc.
also, two of my children are entering MIDDLE SCHOOL.
and my BABY is leaving me FOR KINDERGARTEN.
but i could never home-school, un-school, or any of those combinations there-of. i need my kids to go away. so that i will miss them. and then they can come back.
so, mixed feelings.
school starts for us next tuesday. and i dont know who is LESS prepared. them, or me.
so a celebratory beach bonfire seemed like the perfect way to go out with a bang. and a beer. (or a malibu and coke (or two) as pertains to me).
my sexy man beast. i love his profile.
we rounded up the kids and came back to the firepit to change into warm clothes and get dinner started.
lisa makes the yummiest pizza pockets out of these apple pie makers (you can find them in the camping section at wal-mart)
always a fun time with the mcgarveys. always a bummer when school starts up again and we see each other less.
