As we do every Labor Day weekend, last Friday we headed north for one last summer blast. We spent the day Saturday at the 141st Lancaster County Fair, where vertigo-inducing rides were ridden, deep-fried Twinkies were scarfed, money was donated to carnies in exchange for dime-store "prizes," helicopter rides were taken, lambs and goats were patted, quarters were pumped into the coin-dozer machines, and in general a good time was had by all.
And today? Today I watched Steph get on the bus to high school! Then I watched Pete get on the bus to middle school! Then I walked Julie down to the elementary school! Then I went home and tried to get some work done. I have too much on my plate right now, but I'm trying not to complain because at least it's better than not having enough. But it's tough.
So all three kids had a great first day of school, and I'm looking forward to settling into a routine.
I'm amazed that any schools actually start AFTER Labor Day anymore! It is nice to know that somewhere kids are still getting an entire summer vacation!

I got stuck at "deep-fried Twinkies."
