Summer coming to an end

So here we are, at the end of the summer, almost. I didn't think this summer would be very busy, but it seemed like we were always doing something or had something going on. June was busy with Sea World, and various trips Aaron and I made out of town for guys weekends or continuing ed stuff. Then family reunion in July and Aaron left towards the end of the month for his Haiti trip. Now we're in August and we had a weekend at my parents, a weekend at the lake with great friends, and now we're preparing to do some painting to the house and getting ready for school to start. I guess some of the busyness of the summer has been due to our planning ahead for the baby and the fall. In July we pretty much rearranged the house to make room for the baby and had to get new furniture for the boys. They have bunk beds now and they LOVE them. Luke in particular loves his bed up high, and they both think it's so cool they can touch the ceiling when on Luke's bed. Fortunately, we have 2 more weeks before school starts. Luke starts kindergarten the Tuesday after Labor Day, so I will be very thankful these next 2 weeks as I see all the other parents dropping their kids off and knowing I get at least 2 more weeks before that's me. We have gone and gotten all school supplies and his school uniforms, and that was exciting. I even had Luke put his uniform on this weekend, just to see how it all looked, and he looked so grown up! He will be quite the handsome 5 yr old, so I'll have pictures to post in a couple of weeks after his first day. Ben will not be so thrilled I don't think. All weekend as we were getting stuff for Luke, he'd say,"What about my pants?" or "What about my class?" He will miss Luke and it will take a while for him to figure out that Luke goes 4 days a week and to a different school now, not the 2 days at the Mother's Day Out program that Ben will still go to. Coming soon, I may try to add a few updated pics, and I'm still bugging Aaron to download his Haiti pics and maybe write a little about his trip. In the meantime, we'll try to not melt in this INSANE heat and try to enjoy the last 2 hectic weeks before we start the hectic normal that will be school!
