The last of summer

It's Monday morning, and I am well rested. This is rare. I think it has something to do with actually indulging in the biblical command for a day of rest. We did almost nothing yesterday. We didn't even go to church!
It was wonderful.
So, I am ready for the week.
We have two weeks left of summer, and lots to do.
I had determined to take the boys camping thrice this summer, and we've only been once. I really would like to do that again before the weather gets chilly.
We have free passes to the Water park that we need to use.
I still need to have a garage sale, too.

All-in-all, we've had a very fun summer. The boys were more social this summer than ever before.
M' has a couple of friends that he wants to spend all his time with, and a pretty little girl down the street that he seems to think of all the time. I am so not ready for the teen years!
We hung out at Eagle Island (the local puddle) lots and lots. D' finally learned to swim. Now that's all he wants to do!
This school year we are going to maintain a brisk pace. The boys and I are doing martial arts 3 and 4 days a week. We are learning to wield a sword! M' is going to take more art lessons this year. D' really hasn't exhibited a great interest in anything outside of martial arts, so we'll see how long that lasts. With all that, and my little bible study group, we are going to have something to do every day.
I guess we just have to dive in until we resurface next summer.
But not yet...I have 2 blessed weeks left.

Enjoy your two weeks. Starting Wednesday afternoon, I have summer break for one week before I start up again for the fall. Alas, getting school done quickly means forgoing the fun of summer breaks.
