It is the last week of summer break.  My days are now spent refereeing and coming up with new ways to separate my children so that there are still three of them when Chad gets home from work.  They are done.  They are just done being together for 12 hours a day.  They each have friends on our street, which is a HUGE blessing, so they can each be playing somewhere else WITH someone else, but those friends aren’t always available.

To help me keep things in perspective, I thought I would post a photo a day of previous years’ “first day of school” photos.  We survive every year.  I love seeing those sweet little faces from long ago.  I’m going to work backwards, so here is last year’s…

And because it still makes me laugh…
