Back to school!

Well as usual I'm a little late on this one, they've actually been back one week as of today! I love the fall, it really is the actual New Year. A fresh start, so much promise to the year, many good intentions etc... Even though the schedule of hockey, rugby,school and music events is filllng up, in September it all seems possible. By February that same schedule will seem daunting and I will be at my wits end, but not in September! In September we can do it all! I've always been the kind of gal who loves the smell of fresh school supplies and organizing everything. My oldest boys(16 and 13) do not have this gene but my youngest, like me loves to organize his things and shop for supplies. The older boys are more than happy to have me do it for them and of course I am more than happy to oblige!
 My oldest  was a link leader  this year so he headed off to school very early on the first day to help welcome Grade 9 students to high school. He wasn't in the official back to school  pictures this year but I did sneak one of him on his way out the door. Looking at the picture from a few years ago it's hard to believe they have grown up so much...time goes so quickly!
