Well.. All good things must come to an end! Although it has seemed like an endless one... today is officially the last day of summer! ( seeing that it is Friday, a school day and they are still on summer vacation- my kids are having a hard time with this concept- they think the last day of summer vacation is Sunday, but they wouldn't be in school anyways) I don't want to get all crazy negative on how dang excited I am for school to start, because once the homework and all that comes with it begins... I'll be ready for summer slackin' once a gain. It sounds like I am never happy! Here is a list of things I have loved about this summer...* Loved sleeping in! Mitch slept in until 1:30 p.m. ( that's our record)
* Loved eating bar-b-que and fresh veggies at 8:30 at night!
* Loved eating breakfast with my kids many times a morning.
* Loved the "White bathing suit" Meggie got while swimming for days in Gram's pool.
* Loved going to movies in the afternoon.
* Loved the kids sleeping in a tent on our deck ( because they're afraid of cougars)
* Loved all the baseball games!
* Loved all the fun company we had...45+ people stayed here since Memorial Day
* Loved not worrying about combing hair or matching clothes. Everyday was casual Friday
* Loved pulling weeds all together ( should have loved it a few more times)
* Loved the late night movies and popcorn.
* Loved the summer Popsicle diet.
* Loved that flip- flips were the shoe of choice... not so many socks to fold!
* Loved going to Lagoon with any visitors that came to visit!
* Loved going to St. George and seeing cousins!
* Loved that Meg turned into "MerMeg" when she got to Gram's pool.
* Loved making glitter cups ALL summer long.
* Loved reading with my kids most days.
* Loved going back-to-school shopping. ( The boys HATED it)
* Loved not having any structure... no big plans, no hassle, no worries!
* Loved no bed times.
* Love that the party is over and school starts on Monday!

Congratulations on surviving summer vacation! Sending the kids back to school is always a little bittersweet for me too. I have such big plans at the beginning of summer and we are so busy. I always wish that I had done more and hate all of that homework and routine crap. Hope your kids have a great year!
Yay for back to school!
I am glad to see that you can still write a great post after listening to my siren, sorry for that, he really didn't start crying till I got on the phone..

Great list, Amy!
I can't get over that you housed 45guests over summer at Amy's Bed and Breakfast! From what I know and how you entertain...you must be exhausted! I think you need a down day!
As sad as I am to see summer go, I am looking forward to Fall too!
Such a great list...aaaah summer. It was a fun one!
Wait a minute...you loved pulling weeds? That is just sick girl.
Good luck getting back into the routine. We only have five more weeks until our two weeks of Fall Break begins!
I love summer too! This year I am glad for back to school...it is hard to keep my dude busy all summer :)
Amen!
What a wonderful summer! I love all the great things you loved about your summer. I can't wait until my kids figure out how to sleep in ;)
I am soooo with you. I am more excited for back to school than I could even put into words!
Lovin' the Love - cute post!
We are now into October and as much as I enjoy fall I'm missing the lazy days of summer.
