Summer Almost Over

I can not believe that the summer is almost over.  Where has the summer gone?

Ethan starts school this coming Monday.  I have everything in his backpack except for the shoe box we are decorating.  His teacher wants each student to decorate a shoe box for the extra school supplies.  That is fine, but what happens when the CCD kids come?  I am going to ask that question.  His Open House is Sunday and I want to take everything that is on his supply list in that day along with the first day of papers.  

I am not sure what Noah needs yet.  We did get him a scientific calculator.  I only got a generic list.  I am hoping I will get a list of what he needs next Tuesday at his Orientation.   With Ashleigh, her program provides everything.  I do get her pencils that she likes.

I think we did good on our Summer Bucket List.  Don't you think?
