Where has the time gone?

I love each season but my most favorite is the Fall time. I love the smell, the taste, the pumpkins, the thick clouds, the crunch of the leaves as you are taking a walk, the smell of dinner, the crisp air....it's, to me, a beautiful and cozy time of year. Each season of course has it's special gift. Summer time to me is nice but it's definately not my favorite. But this Summer has been a little different. Maybe because it has not been that hot or humid? Or maybe we have just been so stinkin busy that I've not noticed too much of Summer this year? I'm not sure but I do know this, it has completely went so fast that it amazes me. It seems just like yesterday we were throwing our high school graduate her open house party and now I'm searching for great buys for back to school. Where has the season gone? Sure it has been filled with swimming, bar b ques, spending the night with granny and grandpa, vacation at the lake, VBS, late night movies, and well, you see what I'm saying. It's been a great and busy summer but it has went so fast. I love the summer with the kids home all day and that we have time for all those summer fun things but I also love it when they go back to school and we are all on a routine. With five kids still home and in school we just operate better on a schedule and a routine. So, that being said, yes it has went fast but I believe we are ready for the whole back to school thing and then.......Fall and all that it comes with. =)
