Bye Bye Summer Vacation

So as this evening comes to a close, so does the kids summer vacation. Tomorrow Tayla begins 1st Grade (and it's her 7th Bday) and on Thursday Nora begins her 1st day of Preschool!
I have to say that although a small part of me is happy that order and structure will reside in the Myers household once again...but a huge part of me if very sad that the days will not be filled with the laughter of the girls. Living out in the country there's (obviously) not a neighborhood where kids play and run around and be free like I did. Out here you pretty much have to make "Playdates" and be dropped off and picked up...something I'm not exactly hip to. Perhaps someone needs to write a "Playdate Book for Country Dummies" because I'm still not sure if I have to stay at their house with the kids or if I can just drop them off and leave. I'm not sure what the "Playdate Etiquette" is. OK..moving on...because of this the summer has been filled with Tayla and Nora being each others best friends and playing with each other, laughing with each other, creating with each other, giggling, crying, etc. I'm afraid that all of this will end as soon as school begins and Tayla begins once more hanging out with kids her own age and cuts Nora off. My fear is there because we had this situation happen last year when school began and I remember it being a difficult transition. I'm only hoping that it's better this year. I'll miss my girls and the time we had during the summer...although I have a lot of guilt from things we did not get to do, I also have a lot of pride from things that we DID accomplish.

 Their little minds never once stopped imagining or creating. I love this about my children...they can look at an empty box and turn it into a Barbie Castle!
Well..we'll see how the school year rolls!
Fingers crossed....
