Back to School???

 


There are few days kids look forward to as much as the last day of school.

For Benjamin, who has not yet gained a passion for academic learning, the last day of school is definitely right up there with Halloween and Christmas.

So, you can imagine how he is feeling today. Wednesday was the last day of school . . . and tomorrow is the first day of Summer School.

It just feels wrong.

Ben still needs time to sleep in, play with his sisters,

 


swim, go to the beach, practice on his new bike,

 


collect bugs, play outside, eat ice cream--all the things little boys do when they don't have school.

I know all the arguments about summer school being only half a day, only four days a week, only four weeks . . . but it is still school!

On the bright side, though, our countdown will start again tomorrow--leading up to the FINAL last day of school before we start again in September.

 


Only 16 more classes left!
