School will be back in less than two weeks. Crazy. Could the summer have gone any faster? And yet, I'm wishing I'd enjoyed it a little more while it was here. I was so busy yelling at my boys to stop fighting, shoving chore charts down their throats, and hurrying to get them to swim lessons on time, that I didn't relish the luxury of lazy mornings and uninterrupted afternoon naps like I should have. It's only now that the realities of daily school life are looming large that I'm appreciating the freedom of the past few months.
As I think about the start of a new school year, I also realize that I haven't even blogged about the end of the last school year. In my waxing nostalgic for a summer that hasn't even ended yet, allow me to wax nostalgic for B's salad days of kindergarten.
Some day I'll get my act together. I'll blog on time. I'll enjoy the moment. I'll take better pictures. I hope.
Dancin' in the rocks as they wait for the slow train(Millie and Mom) to catch up
Waiting yet again, since they had to race down every sidewalk
between our house and the school
"Stop Light Man," as Eli so endearingly named our friendly crossing guard 
Unhappily stroller-bound Millie and masked-man Eli
Waiting with some of his classmates for the door to open one last time
Class picnic at the park
Lunching with good friends, Lionel, Nicola and Kiana(notice Millie, happy in the arms of Lores, one of the two Filipino moms
who loved to hold Millie at morning drop-off every day)

Way to document it!!! So cute of the kids, fun to see them in their daily routine (I especially love Eli's get-up!!).
Wow - he'll be a 1st grader! Can't believe it's back to school time already (although we have a little longer to wait than you!)
