School starts tomorrow. It doesn't really seem fair, as it is still the middle of August, the weather is still hot, and I'm certain no one is really ready to be back to the grind. At least, I'm not and neither are the kids. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it.
This morning I got an email from a neighbor down the street, Michelle Moreland, inviting all the neighbor kids ten and under to come to their house for a day-before-school-starts-water-party. Brandt and Blythe were keen, although Blythe wanted to make sure that her BFF Ellen was going to be there. She was, so we went down to the Morelands for some wet activity. They had a slip-n-slide, an inflated pool, water balloons, and water guns, plus coasters and treats. It was hot and the water was refreshing. There were a number of other families there, and while the kids ran around splashing and shrieking, the moms sat and talked and tried not to get caught in the crossfire.
Hooray for the hot, wet days of summer. I'm sad they are coming to an end.
I love this one.
Lovely ladies catching some rays.
