Last day of summer

Not on the calendar, but today is the official last day of summer before the kids go back to school tomorrow.  I can't believe Carter will be in 2nd grade, Riley started 1st grade today and Parker will be starting kindergarten. Our boys have grown up so fast.  Carter and Cooper came home yesterday after being at Nana and Papa's for a week and I couldn't stop looking at Cooper because he just looked so big. They had such a great time and it was so good for them because they really missed us.  I was even amazed at how Carter was doing things for Cooper without being asked or told, held his hand to go to the bathroom, buckled him in his car seat and even opened his snack for him. It really did me good to see that, how blessed we are to have 2 very different and amazing boys. After we picked them up yesterday, we drove over to Millbrook and visited with the best friends ever..the Myers.  Nothing like lunch with 4 adults and 4 wild boys at the Awful Waffle House.  We eventually made it back home around 4, played a couple of games Uno, watched the Cowboys preseason game and crashed.  After having a big lunch, we ended up having our favorite light dinner..cereal. It was hard getting Cooper to school today after being away for a week, but he was excited to see some of his friends.  Carter and I will be going to his school orientation to drop off supplies, hand over the checkbook and meet our teacher...we are both excited about that.
