Last Swim

We ventured to the pool for one last swimming excursion before we called the summer over.  We lasted 25 minutes.  Jake was tired and my boys were supposedly hungry... I think the swimming bug has just worn off as school has started and we are ready for jeans.  Jeans.  And long sleeve t-shirts and cool mornings seem appropriate for September.  My nifty little iphone weather thing doesn't seem to agree.

I get random tidbits of information about school...
 - He played basketball with some boys one day.  That would have been a sight as his skills are comical and I can only imagine the little five year old kiddos trying to hoist the ball into the hoop.
 - He likes to ride his bike there and then lock it up.  Maybe he feels grown up doing that?
 - He informed me that he doesn't want to eat lunch there.  Ever.
 - They are counting down the days to the 100th day of school.  We are on day 12.
 - There is a fantastic system of sending papers home that involves a folder and a number, and thus far it seems to work amazingly well.  I haven't lost or forgotten anything, yet.
 - He likes it.

Caleb does stuff with me...
 - He tells all of the kind inquirers that he is doing "preschool with Mama"
 - He seems to adore the quiet to do as he pleases but is also excited to see Jonathan.
 - He loves to cut.  Using scissors would be his preferred activity every day.  We have managed to keep the scissors from wandering to and cutting the furniture but a few shirts haven't fared so well.
 - He likes it.

We were just having the same conversation about jeans...the calendar turns and we want our denim. Now! Unfortunately, it's still over a 100 here...eh. :-)
