Yes folks it is that time of year again...Back To School!!!!!
What I love about summer:
1) I can sleep in. I have pre-teens and they would sleep till noon if I let them and I have a four year old I keep up later then usual in the summer so I can selfishly sleep in.
2) We can go and do things whenever we want...nothing revolves around a school schedule or extracurricular schedule.
3) We can stay in our pajamas till noon and watch toddler and tiara episodes and teach Makenzie to wave like a beauty queen because it is stupidly entertaining.
4) We can spend all day at the pool enhancing our summer tan lines and wearing ourselves out swimming
5) Endless days reading while laying on the couch eating Popsicles and slushies.
What I hate about summer:
1) The constant rotation of dishes and meals being prepared in my kitchen. I swear my food bill in the summer seems to double.
2) The daily question of "what are we doing today..I'm bored"!
3) Me nagging consistently that it is not okay to play on the Wii/Playstation/Computer all day long.
4) The wrestling, bickering, slapping, and verbal assaults that seem to erupt at various times throughout the day.
They are ready and I am ready for them to go back to school. We had a fun summer overall! We didn't have any grand vacations but we did a lot of local stuff and had some visitors. The kids start back to school on Tuesday and Makenzie starts the following week.
So I bid adieu to summer of 2011...thanks for some great memories.

P.S. Upon observation I seem to have my sunglasses on in all my pictures that I have posted and it was also pointed out in my previous post I seemed to have posted random pictures of my bare feet this summer so I feel it necessary to include two more pictures since feet and sunglasses seem to be the theme for Summer of 2011:
Sunglasses
and pedicured feet!
Now I feel I can officially say adieu to summer..

I love this post! It is so fun to read that we have some of the same summer hates and likes, the only difference is my boys don't really sleep in. I love seeing all of your outings and can't wait to see how your outing to Moon Lake goes (if you're still going). I am so happy that you had such an incredible summer.
