I can't believe our summer is over. The kids got up at 6:30 this morning, wasn't sure that was possible, and have begun their day. In many ways I'm glad this day is here, the anticipation and waiting was becoming all consuming. I will, however, miss this summer. As important as education is, there is a value to lazy days with no agenda but to simply be.

I don't recall having lazy days when I was a kid. My mom made us attend every summer program they had... I don't know something about keeping us out of trouble... lol
I'm the exact opposite. Unless they ask, I let them do whatever they please. The rest of the year is so structured. Of course...there is trouble!
