The End of The School Year

OK~The end of another school year is wrapping up here in Iowa. This will be the 15th school year that has came to an end at this house~ We started in 1996 and it's now 2011, which makes 15 years, right? I really, really looked forward to the summer break with my boys when they were younger~ We spent days/hours at the local swimming pool and it wasn't even one of those fancy pools for most of the years....Just a pool with a couple water slides. It is now updated and a full fledged aquatic center.

I'm thinking.....this is what I am looking forward to at this point in my life

• Sleeping past 6:00 a.m.
• Reading a good book while hanging in a hammock
• Spending a peaceful, warm day out on the lake
• The start of a new school year in August, with two more years of high school to go (Towards the end of the month, something unusual here in Iowa)

My boys get older, I get older and life goes on and on; and I continue to be thankful for the things that I am able to experience. I am sure we will spend more than a few evenings at the local gun club shooting a few clay targets this summer, as well. Now, if sunshine and warmth would prevail~ this household would be a happy one! After All, It's All In a Mom's Day, Right?
