Do you hear that?

Ah, the sound is quiet! This is BO1's first day of 2nd Grade and I was up at 6:30 (ouch, it's been a while!) and have enjoyed almost 2 hours without children awake. That's been nearly unheard of the past 2 months! We had Open House on Monday night and he's been excited. And none too soon. He has been a bit of a bear this summer. I think that kid needs structure. For 2 weeks now he's been telling us "I'm kind of excited for school to start, but kind of not." And I know how he feels. I'm excited for the return of some routine (and some peace and quiet!) but I'll miss the freeform days of summer. Countdown to Sept. 2nd for BO2 to start Pre-K classes in the morning! Then only 5 more years until BO3 starts! :)
