Four months ago we packed our books,
tucked pencils into boxes
recycled scads of paperwork
and went in search of foxes.
First outdoor school, then trav'ling north
in camper, van and ferry.
A week of fun in the old home town
to see a brother marry.
A flight back home with grandparents
to a garden overgrown
with radishes as big as beets
and cukes and beans full blown.
Three times we camped out on the coast
and once in our own grass,
though that time lasted 6 whole weeks
for B, our bonny lass.
A birthday bash with 26 guests,
a movie on the lawn,
and fun and games and baptisms,
Oh where has summer gone?
The books are dusted off once more;
The pencils are all sharp.
The math CDs are in their place,
as is the montrous harp.
Even the kids are set to learn,
to put their sloth away.
Is it just me or did this summer
pass in one short day?

Yes, in one short day! It's over and this year I am SO ready for them to go back to school. We are already busy with Football and Soccer, now for Reading, wRiting and aRithmatic!
