The Last Days

These last few days of summer are really hard. Anthony is doing daily double's for football and Megan has started practice for fall soccer. I am excited this year for soccer because we are not spending every weekend in Walla Walla. 3 of the 6 games will still be out of town but they will by within an hour's drive so that's not too bad. Anthony on the other hand, his first game is about 2 hours away. Megan will practice on Monday and Wednesday so that means I will be able to make Anthony's out of town games. Well, maybe not the one in Idaho but the rest of them.

Megan and Anthony are ready to start school. Jason on the other hand wants nothing to do with it. He doesn't even want to hear the word "school" in our house. He doesn't care if you are talking school, home school or whatever, he just does not want summer to end. I am with him on that one. I don't want it to end either. My reason's have nothing to do with warm weather, swimming pools or sleeping in. I just don't want to go back to work. So Jason sweetie, I am totally with you. However, his home school stuff will be here tomorrow and we are both just a little bit excited about digging into that science stuff. It comes with tons of science experiments. He is hoping that he will be able to blow something up. Steve is with him on that one.

We are celebrating Megan's birthday tomorrow. She has gone from wanting a party with everyone she knows, to just having 3 of her closest friends. So, we will start our day at 11:00am with a trip to the water park. Home for pizza and the "Blue and White" football game. Ice cream and cake, maybe a trip to the drive in's followed by a sleepover. On Saturday (her actual birthday) we will be taking a short trip to a neighboring town to pick the last little part to her present. I can't post what it is because she has been known to read this blog. She will be very happy and I know that there will be lots of pictures.

Until then, I hope you are enjoying your last days of summer.
