First Day's of School

So quickly the school year happens upon us and for some reason I always think our summer projects will be completed, the house painted, a few windows replaced, all the laundry washed, folded, and put away, and everything in its place by September 2nd, but to no avail there is a mounding Mt. Everest pile of clean laundry on the dresser, there is no way that the endless afternoons of purging through the girls polly pockets even put a dent in, there are chewed off barbie legs, arms and an occasional severed barbie head laying around thanks to Daniel's "special" dog Rosko. There are dust bunnies having their own coffee klatch in the four corners of our home and yet I can't help but feel that all those are just that- "things" none of them are as important as we are all guilty of thinking, and none of those things ever come before the excitement and anticipation of the first day of school for my girls. I am going to enjoy these moments and do my best to leave the dust bunnies to their espresso. Kyia's First Day of 4th Grade
