Last Day Of Summer

August 24, 2010 | Filed under: Stuff

SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself with the all caps there for a moment… So for the second to last evening of summer, we went out on the boat as a family. Here is a very rare sweet moment between Oldest And Middle. Actually “moment” is too long. It lasted for a single second:

Literally. Because in the next second, Oldest ever so helpfully gave Middle a nice shove off as she was doing a dock start on her wakeboard:

Such sisterly love …

Buh-bye long days of summer, filled with sisterly warfare, “Mom, make her stop”, and “I’m hungry!” … I’ll miss you. But don’t call me, I’ll call you.

    My boys start tomorrow as well and I AM GLAD!! Unfortunately, it is storming and gross here so we may have a lazy movie day if we don’t venture out :)

    Although for the most part, I loved being one of 4 girls, moments like this are why I tell my son, “And that’s why I only had one child”. LOL

    Your girls are so darn adorable.

    Mine have been in school for 3 weeks. Best 3 weeks ever!

  9. Kristina says:

    I’m jealous of your landscaping. ;) I think that you’ll be complaining tomorrow that your house is too silent. :D I’m scared for tomorrow to come. My son starts Kindergarten… :( How do I put him on the bus?

    Beautiful pictures. We are having a heat wave which is really miserable as our summer has been an unusually cool one! I turned my fans on early but I don’t think it is going to help a lot. :| It is time to head to the coast but I can’t do it until maybe next week! Such is life! :smile:

    Enjoy your peace and quiet after everyone leaves tomorrow! No feeling lonely. :smile:

    Ha Ha. Those pictures bring back memories of my summer working for my brother Bill as his live-in baby sitter/house keeper. We went tubing, kneeboarding and wakeboarding…. all of our first times. And my god the wipe outs were hilarious! I’m posting a link of my brother Wayne trying to ramp a wave on his first try at knee boarding. Buah ha ha…. oh, and ignore my laugh and the crappy quality of my camera. :mrgreen:
