Back to school

I can't believe it's here!  It seems like just yesturday that our first was born and now we have one starting grade 1 and another begining her school career in JK.

We have had a fabulour summer with 2 great weeks at Sauble Beach.  It was so fabulour I found it difficult to think about going back to work.  We all had so much fun swimming in the water, walking the beach, going on family outings to the museum, park, and train.

It's hard to say goodbye to summer and I hope that the weather gods are nice to us and give us a nice long warm fall.  With the nicer weather our space is extended to the bakyard and we love getting outside before bedtime.

So it's nearly midnight and I can't sleep.  I can't decide if its excitement (though I know that some of it is) or fear, for a new beginning and me having no real control over it, or just the fact that I got some extra sleep thanks to my fabulous mother.

We also (because I like to make it difficult) decided to start the little ones at a new pre-school.  I know that this switch will be a good one, but why I chose the first day of school, who knows?

With 5 bags packed for the morning and 1 lunch, 3 kids going to a new place it's sure to be an eventful day, but we will be there for the beginning and the end of the day to ensure all goes as smoothly as possible.

Wish me luck, I know I can make it happen I just hope it comes with little tears and fears.
