Summer Days are ending tomorrow! Ahh, how did I get old enough to have a kindergartener? She's excited, I'm melancholy, we'll both make it through tomorrow I'm sure. The tears already started during dinner when David cheerfully announced "Cyrena, in 13 hours you'll be on the bus!" She looked at me, teared up and said "I'm going to miss you." That's all it took to get me going. This from the girl who hasn't acted sad one BIT this entire time. I think it's hitting her now. David had to jump in and save the day. My tears continued during David's father's blessing for Cyrena. David asked if he needs to take the day off tomorrow to comfort me. :) It's the ending of an era, Cyrena and I have made a great team these last 5 1/2 years.
I did want to capture what our summer days have looked like. I'm a bit of a homebody and my kids are happy to oblige, especially with it being so hot outside. We'll have the occasional outing or playdate but for the most part we stay close to home.
Then a leisurely breakfast where we eat great food and explore the newspaper
We dress and do hair then complete some chores
THEN it's dancing time! The girls turn on the Disney station on Pandora and the floor is theirs. They do this every single day.
While Anna does a lot of this...laughing and learning how to sit up
Occasionally we'll do a fun activity, like decorating cupcakes.
These turned out quite tasty as you can imagine! It was all purple sprinkles for Natalie-her favorite color.
We also enjoy lots of books, the girls are great about reading together most of the time
And of course when Dad gets home it's pandemonium as we all scramble for his undivided attention.
And there you have it, it's not much but it's what we do and what we like. And now it's coming to an end...sob!

I guess it's different from preschool because it's every day? Maybe it was you who said it's all-day kindergarten. I am feeling fine about sending Brady to preschool in 3 weeks, but maybe it will be harder the morning of. How are you handling it so far?
Do you guys have all day kindergarten? K wasn't so bad, it's first grade this year that is killing me! I stress out about Carson eating enough lunch and going to the bathroom, etc. All things he really didn't have to do when he was only gone 3 hours at a time last year. :(
She will be such a cute kindergartner! What a doll! Where is she attending?
LOVE the "everyday" pictures :-)
It is so much harder for summer to end when you have a child in school - there is a whole new routine! Looks like you had a nice family friendly summer! ;) I love being at home with my kids and that's why back to school time is so hard for me! Now you get to enjoy lots more time with Natalie and Anna - there is positive to a child going to school right??!!
