Can you even believe it???

I can hardly believe that Summer is almost over and that it is now time for the excitement of back to school shopping!

The pressure of what backpack to get; there's so many choices. Nana even helped the girls by modeling the bags, so the girls could see what they would look like on.

Shake that bum Nana! You work it!

Speacking of choices, I can't believe all the different kinds of supplies they have now for kids. Gosh, it almost makes you forget that Kenzie is going into 2nd grade and Lanie in Kindergarten, I wanted to buy it all, but hey, not even a person going to college needs as much supplies as Target has to offer.

With only 24 days till school starts, Kenzie and Lanie are excited to get back in school, and the mom in me has mixed feelings about the whole thing...Who is going to be my big helpers with the twins? Who is going to cuddle with me in bed and be lazy watching Sponge Bob in our jammies? Who is going to go on our Sonic runs for a slushie? What about our weekly field trips, who is going to go with me now?

I can't believe that my "big" girls will be starting school again...

...and they couldn't be more excited!

After picking out crayons, markers, folders with glitter, (the more bling, the "cooler" with these girls) pencils, as well as a case to hold everything, oh don't forget the glue, scissors, and lunch bag, the girls were excited to go home and put everything together.

I can remember how much fun and exciting it was to buy the supplies, but what was even more fun was to go home and organize it over and over again and sit and look at all the fun new supplies that I just picked out for the first day of school, and I know that is what the girls are going through. They have "organized" their things the past two days and keep checking if everything is "ready" for school.

Well, with school right around the corner, that means no more late nights of playing, knowing that you can just sleep in. It means getting back to routines and habits.

Get ready for the dreaded word... home work or at my girls' age it means busy work for mom and dad. Remember I have already gone through school, if the teachers are going to send work home, have it age appropriate for the kids.

I hate to say it, but when School starts, Summer is over!!! I feel like it has just began. I am not ready to let my Summer go...
Here's to the next 24 days of Summer enjoyment with my kids before I have to let them go...

***Next School Clothes Shopping...this is dangerous with one of my girls, but this year I get to take 2 of the girls. This is going to be fun!***
