Sweet, sweet summer

So, tomorrow is the last day of summer. As I look back on our summer, I have to say that it's probably the best summer I have had! Last summer, Adilyn and I were kind of trapped in the house because she was so tiny. We didn't really travel, and we were pretty boring. This summer was ridiculous. We took three vacations, went on two airplane rides, had lots of fun at the pool, hung out with our friends, and had lots of fun together! There were some days that Adilyn drove me absolutely crazy. There were some days that I couldn't wait until her bedtime, but the majority of days were filled with wonderful times and beautiful memories. I am so glad I am a teacher and that I have these times with her. The thought of having to give up all those precious times made me really sad last week. As I was getting depressed about having to leave her, she began her reign of holy terror; she started getting so silly. Touching all the buttons on the tv, throwing all the clothes out of the drawers, playing in the dogs' water...every little thing that she knew she wasn't supposed to do. I think it was her way of showing me that I would have a really hard time being a stay at home mom. I just don't have the patience that you need to have for that job!
