Winding down and gearing up

School for Alexis begins on Wednesday. A full day right off the bat, thanks to the "no half days" rule. One soap box rant-I hope these people in charge (all the way up to the president) realize the importance of allowing kids to be kids. That giving them a break from working hard at school is VERY important. Especially because they learn so much through play (better in some instances). Ok, I'm done ranting. But, if the public schools ever decide to do away with summer vacation, we'll be a private school family!!

So finally last week, we went shopping for school supplies. Over $100 later, we are finally done. I'm hoping that since she is in the same class for two years, we will get to recycle a lot of these supplies again next year. We're having to spend a lot on clothes anyway because she has grown so much in the last several months. Alexis is excited for the beginning of school. Not excited enough to get out of bed when I wake her up in the morning (I've been up there 4 times already this morning and she's still not up!). We've been having such a good time together I just don't want it to end!
But anyway, she really needs to be up by now, so I guess I have to go up there and drag her out....
