Documented: August 2013

August.

One of the boys' most favorite and least favorite months all in one!

Most favorite because they get to go to the Cisne Reunion, which is like one of the best highlights of the summer.  I loved it as a child, too.

Of course, that was when it involved real amusement rides.

I remember watching all day out the window at the funeral home (for those of you who don't know, we lived above the funeral home my dad owned for the first 4 years of my life and then we spent lots of time there growing up even after we moved to our house).....anyway, I remember watching out the window because I had the perfect view of the carnival workers setting up the carousel.  

I'm sure I bugged my parents all day long to go ride it.

I still like going over during Reunion time - it's nostalgic for me, of course, but I really like seeing everyone again and catching up.

So I'm glad the boys like it too.

And the worst month, too, of course, because school begins again.

Don't get me wrong.  We are all always ready for some routine again after freer summer months.

But I think the boys would choose a different way to introduce routine back into our lives.
