As much as we looked forward to summer, we've officially hit the time of the year where we just want fall to come. It's hot and the kids are starting to get antsy about back to school. I won't say they are bored, but the activities that kept them busy two months ago don't hold the same allure. So we eat alot of popsicles, watch videos and/or TV during the hot part of the day, and wonder when the weather will cool down.
The irony is that this summer hasn't been very hot. It didn't get hot at all until July and the weather, in general, has been quite pleasant. One of the advantages to living in Cache Valley is that, even when the days are in the upper 90's, the nights cool down quite nicely - typically in the upper 50's or lower 60's. Very comfortable. But August is always a time to look forward to autumn, which is my favorite time of the year.
School is starting on August 20th for Henry, so one week from today. Tessa had her preschool Open House last night and starts on the 25th. And William just got his letter about kindergarten - the name of his teacher, the time for his assessment, etc. He's excited and I'm excited for him. His Back to School Night is next Wednesday but he doesn't start kindergarten until the 27th. I think it will work out for me to help out in his classroom during the week, thanks to Tessa's Tuesday/Thursday preschool schedule. I hope so.
My only concern is Tessa. She's used to having William to kick around during the day, so she might be a little lost when he's gone every afternoon. Plus she seems to think that she's going to be riding a pink school bus to preschool. Let's forget the fact that they don't make pink school busses and her preschool is just around the corner, so I imagine we'll walk when the weather is nice. Hopefully her princess backpack will distract her.
