we have 10 days left before school starts.
i am ready for a quiet house.
for some reason everything felt very loud all summer.
hardly ever any quiet.
but i will miss the water….the tans…..the heat…..kind of the heat…..and sleeping in.
only ten more days.

happygirl - I keep reminding myself of the lovely spring we experienced here in the mid-Atlantic. The summer, Blistering. 🙂
Su@TheIntentionalHome - I am counting the days til school starts too 🙂
Would you mind sharing what kind of camera you have. I am in the market for a new one. Thanks for the creative inspiration!
Perrin - Oh,, that photo of your daughter jumping into the pool is just amazing. So cute. I’m sort of sad to see the end of pool trips coming so soon, for us tomorrow! Ugh.
Valerie @ Chateau A la Mode - Summer goes too fast…or does it 🙂
Amy Slavik@ Little For A Little While - Wow, that went fast! How did you make out on your summer fun list?
Sarah - Not that you are counting or anything. 🙂 I know EXACTLY how you feel.
flor - I completely understand. School starts back up for us next Monday.. and I’m looking forward to it to be honest with you {as I’m sure my kids are too}. This summer went by so fast, I feel like I didn’t get to do as much with them as I had hoped for 🙁
Sarah @ Handbags*N*Pigtails - Yup, we start two weeks from tomorrow(girls and I). Most schools around here dont start until after labor day though. Its rough at the end of the year when they dont get out until mid-late June. By then it feels like summers already been going for weeks for others.
I will miss the summer. So many chnages for all of us here(with me going back to work-teaching 3rd grade- after 8 years of being a SAHM). Pray for me!:)
tara - I wanna be jumping into that pool…this orlando heat is ridiculous.
Janie Fox - I always felt like doing cartwheels in the front yard when the school bus drove off. Is that bad?
colette - i am also loving the pool, heat, and sun way too much this year! so not ready for it to be over. for us, we have about 30 days left of it. gotta pack it all in. it flies by too fast.
love your jumping pics, btw!
Katie - Man I wish I was jumping into a pool! I can’t believe there are only ten days left, where has this summer gone too?! I’m not ready!!!!
Emily - Crazy my son does not start until Sept 21 . . . .
Leah - It did feel like a loud summer. And so hectic this year. I don’t remember last summer feeling so hectic! I’ll be counting down your 10 days with you!
Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - Our school starts Monday… It seemed to go by faster than ever this summer.
Terrie - Can you believe summer is almost over? Wonder how many ‘heat’ days we’ll have? 🙂
Janine - 10 days!! We have another month! We start the summer vacation late though. It’s nearly July by the time the let the kids finish. Get off just in time for the 4th and back just after Labor day. It goes by too fast. Enjoy it!
Kristin - Thinking of back to school, I was browsing lunch box ideas. This rainbow bread made me think of you!

kasey - you can still have the heat and the tan…just minus the kids;-)
Yeah for school!!
karen - did you put annie in swimming lessons or did she learn on her own?? i’ve got to put my almost 4 year old soon!
D. Jean - Love your photography. Just catching up. Looked like a great vacation. Too much fun.
Holly - Meg once school started here I switched over to “Im ready for fall” mode! I will miss the summer fun, but we have had some great saturdays the last couple of weeks since school started!
Julie K - Lucky you!17 days for us …
I love the swimming suit butt cheeks – my favorite. 🙂
Lisa Currie-Gurney - 😉
HUGS FROM MY HEART
alicia @ la famille - 10 more days? holy moly y’all start school early! enjoy your little kiddos, but enjoy your time alone too 🙂
beth - Wow, only 10 days? We have about 3 more weeks of summer. I have very mixed emotions. I, too, am ready for quiet, but since my husband works at school, I know how crazy busy the school year can get.
Are her fingers crossed in those pics? Too cute–love the bright colors! Our poos doesn’t allow cameras (no idea why-silly) so I can’t get any cute water pics. Yours are adorable.
Lorilee - I am not looking forward to school starting yet. I will have to go back to school too, as a teacher. I really need just a few more weeks to catch up on a few more household chores! I just got my fridge pulled out and vacuumed behind!
Blessings,
Lorilee
Aimee - I will miss it all this year. This is the first 100% enjoyable summer I’ve had since having kids.
Of course, I will mostly miss the sleeping in.
Penny - It is always bittersweet to have them go back to school. I am looking forward to school starting, it means I will also be back to work! But I am going to enjoy this last month! We start back on Sept. 6. My college girl goes back on the 19th of August. It is my baby’s last year of high school. This will be bittersweet! Enjoy these last few days, before we know it the snow will be flying and we will all be complaining about the cold! 🙂
