Soaking Up the Last of Summer

We are starting to gear up for school around here. Bedtimes and alarms are getting earlier. We are trying to remember how to get up, get dressed, and get out the door quickly. We are getting better every day.

We are also soaking up the last of summer. Ice cream runs after dinner. Slower days and extra family time. To that last point, the kids have spent more time playing board games and being together. And to make that more fun, Evan built a fort:

It takes up his entire room, and I have loved listening to the laughing in it. I think it will stay up until school starts, and I won't complain one bit. I know these days of forts are almost over, and I'll soak them up while they last.
