It's official! The children have all gone back to school! Summer was grand, and I will surely miss lazy days at the lake, but not as much as I missed moments of quiet at my house! The days get more hectic, and some how as the daylight gets shorter our days get longer, but its worth it. It is worth the quiet homework hour, and the calm in the evening as all the kids have gone to bed.
Back to school time brings joy to many; crisp autumn smells, football, apples, and hearty meals that welcome the impending winter. The town livens up with float buildings, homecomings and community spirit at its highest. Halloween and pumpkin pie are only moments behind. I am never ready to say good bye to the summer sun, but I am always ready to say hello to the school year.
Here's to peaceful moments for adults and to the joy a new year brings to our children - new friends and new memories! Cheers!

That's what kids should bring teachers if they want A's!
If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers. ~Edgar W. Howe
