Coming to an end

Yup, Summer is coming to an end... Am I ready? sort of.... I am ready for my son to be going back to school... it's one less child roaming the house... one less instigator of trouble! But on the other hand i love the Summer weather, granted maybe not the heat waves we've been getting! Jr could really use some more new clothes for school...mostly pants... but hey most of September is now warm enough that he can wear shorts.... never use to be that way here in New Jersey, buit it has been the last couple years. We stil have a bit of summer reading to catch up on, but he did all the required reading.... ONLY 3 books were required, when they had a whole 3 months off... but over Spring Break when they had 5 days off, 5 books were required.... is this ridiculous to anyone else?? So far he has read 6... and he is sitting outside as i type reading to his brother and sister as the draw.... He also needs to get back to school to work on his speech! His teacher is gonna hate me, we really didn't work on it much at all this summer. For the most part he is ready to go back.
