Summer's end

Summer is coming to an end, in Minnesota. You can feel fall in the air, along with the Fair going full swing. School starts the day after Labour Day, the day after the Fair ends. Our oldest is starting high school, and I'm so excited for her. I know it's going to be a big change, and she's going to be worn out, overwhelmed by the work, but it's going to be brilliant! Her classes sound much more interesting than anything that was offered to us when her father and I were in high school. She joined swim team, and even though she's still shy as hell, she's becoming part of it. I will miss the older children, to some degree but I'm ready for them to start school again. They're getting very squirrelly. Hopefully tomorrow we will know what teachers they have, and when the bus is coming, etc. I want to figure out what the baby and I will be doing with ourselves.
