Adjusting to the back to school routine has been a little painful, in my opinion.  Sure, my kids are in school all day which leaves me with loads of time “to myself” to sit around and watch Tivo’d episodes of Project Runway and eat cookie dough ice cream all day (is that bad?).

Well, regardless of my current situation, I SO miss the days of summer.  Don’t get me wrong – fall is my FAVORITE season.  I love homemade applesauce.  I love Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.  I love hoodie sweatshirts and comfy jeans.  But I already desperately miss summer – deciding each morning what adventure I’ll take with my kids.   The beach?  A pool?  The library?  Meijer?  (OK, that last one never excited them but was definitely necessary).

I miss flip flops and tank tops and slip-n-slides. . .

football games. . .

Ok, in reality, that was more like gearing up for football, but really tackling each other and playing with dog instead.

Playing on the beach with no cares in the world . . .

And riding off into the sunset.
