I can not believe that this summer is almost over. It has been a good but busy summer. It has been nice to live so close to the beach and actually go. We've done the movies, the park, the zoo, and have even been able to go to the pool. But I have to say I am so very ready for the school year to start. Charleigh will be going into the 4th grade. I can not believe that she is getting so old. She is excited about the new year but really nervous about having a new teacher. The good thing about her school is that she has known her classmates ever since she was in 1st grade. They don't get that many new students because one has to leave the school in order for there to be a new spot. Dennis is starting his 12th year of teaching. Man he is getting to be an old man. I am hoping that it is a good year for the both of them and that I can deal with all the homework that I know Charleigh is going to have.   I have heard the 4th grade is lots of  work for the parents oops I mean the students. Piper who will be turning 4 in Dec will be working hard getting ready for kindergarten. I am hoping that by the time she actually  gets to go to school she will already know the things she will be taught. It would be nice to be ahead of the game. So there is the game plan. Wish me luck!!
