Back to school and to the normal routine of life. I should say the normal routine of school life. In just a few weeks schedules and routines will disappear and a feeling of freedom and exploration will begin. I love the feeling of shedding the school and home routines and mixing it all up again. It starts with chaos, and then changes to lazy lazy days along with camps, swimming lessons, youth conference, parks, visits, and hopefully a family vacation, before the girls head off to college. I hope that somewhere amid the chaos and the lazy I can spend time with the kids making quilts, gardening, exercising, hiking, going to the zoo, and visiting some historical sites and hopefully camping. I have that spring fever and want school to end. But for today some of the kids are taking their SOL tests and final tests. Emily is writing her two final research papers of her high school career. She is enjoying times with friends. Austin can't wait to get done with the "worst teacher ever". We are looking forward to seeing Willy get through Algebra 1 because he is making better choices. Lydia is learning slowly so possibly another year of first grade will put her at the top of her grade! All in all we are all looking forward to the lazy lazy days of summer.
