The Light at the End of the Tunnel

At the Perry house we count down the days until summer is over. I know it's strange and that most people count down the days til summer begins. However, my boys LOVE their school and I LOVE my job. The summer is a nice break. We enjoy getting to sleep in, go to the park in the middle of the day, go to the library when no one else is there...BUT we also LOVE school.

We've got one week to go and the boys are getting restless. Each day Seth crosses out a day on the calendar to count down how many more days til school. Today there are 11 more days. Technically, there are only 11 days until the teachers at our school go back. We have one week to get our classrooms ready, go to meetings (this year we are working on accreditation), etc. Seth will be in daycare on the elementary side, Evan will be in daycare on the preschool side and Levi will be back to hanging out with Amy (or Mamy, as he calls her).

The official first day of school is Tuesday, September 8th. Seth will be in 1st grade with Miss Chia and Mrs. Barth as his teachers. Evan will be in the 4 year olds class with Mrs. Turner as his teacher. As for me, I will have 12 students this year (a small class for me) and will be in a new classroom.

And so, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel and are awaiting September 8th when we get to take the first day of school picture in front of the school sign like I make the boys do every year!
