September....

This summer we didn't join anything. We went to some family reunions and we spent our time around the backyard....And we tossed the calender!
Well the easy life is done. September brings school, scouting, robotics and the dreaded schedule. Several years ago I had to finally give in and start keeping a calender. With four kids, there was just no way around it. It is quite the task to explain to your son, who thinks the world revolves around him, that he needs to use the calender too. Yes , he can go babysit on Saturday, but I need to know this is happening . Nothing worse than thinking you have a built in babysitter and then finding him gone. Or his potential employers thinking they have a confirmed babysitter and finding him gone for a family weekend.
Ah summer, we'll be thinking about you.
