"Pajama Day,... again?" I was beginning to notice a trend to the end of summer as I walked downstairs to find Hannah and Max camped on the couch.
"Yep," that was all the reply they could manage without disturbing their 'show'.
Something about the end of summer and the start of school makes you want to sleep in longer, lay around more than usual, and wear your pajamas all day long. It's the calm before the storm as homework looms in the near future, sporting events become 'dinner out', and rise and shine is another way to politely say, GET UP before I drag you out of that bed!
Another visual sign in the house of summer coming to an end is that darned calendar clinging to the fridge. The more writing on it, the more defined each day becomes with the 'have to' items. Like for instance,.. this morning next to Kim's name it read: SCHOOL. "Oh,.. that's where she went! Now who's making breakfast?"
Also as the summer winds down, Kim and Hannah make plans for the last big push for Cookies for Cancer. Hannah has landed somewhere around the $900 mark with a few more weeks left and the big Jenna Mammina concert at the Acorn Theater. With her goal set at $2k I would say she did very well for her first year out!
I must leave you with this: The face of a teenager when trying to be kissed by his mother.

OMGosh, GOLD!
Congrats to the teenager for his great tennis tryouts! You must be very proud, and he must be soooo happy! Maybe he will let his mom kiss him now?
Having mixed emotions about the school thing ... not ready yet.

Dang...no Michael Phelps moment with another gold. I have to settle for silver...from TEXAS! Yup-you read right. I'm in TEXAS!
So, I completely understand the wind down of summer and wind up of school: been school clothes shopping, been up to the school getting classroom ready, and been trying to get boys on a school sleeping schedule.
I LOVE THE PHOTO! Did Kim finish her paper; Sam should reward her with a big smooch!
See you soon-
MR
Aw, Melissa, I just spent a week with my friend who now lives in MO, but who is originally from TX! Hope you're having a blast!
Major cool points, because I was totally there for that pic. Sam, it's a nice look for you.
Ah, the busy happens again. I'm at school in less than a week. And, Dave, Dad's cooking breakfast.
Love,
Shanna
