The end of summer

Wow it is hard to believe that I only have about a week and half before I start my new job. I am getting really excited about it. I did go to the schools this week to check out my "room". The one is going to be a big storage/old classroom in the basement. It will take some work to get it feeling bright and cherry to work with it. I am excited to see what I can do to turn it around and make it a fun place for the kids to hang out. The other school the room is really more like a closet that we will be in. It will have a table and chairs, but no real room for floor space to play or anything. I am going to have to be creative in figuring out what to do with the kids there because the space will be really tight.

I am looking forward to building the program and really hoping that it makes a difference in the lives of these young children. I am glad to see that some of my parents are pretty excited about the program and the good it can bring to their family.

This week I am done working, have to burn up some more of my vacation hours. We are off to Billings to the Fair! The kids have concert tickets to Puddle of Mud and while they are doing that, Sam and I will be sitting in the beer booth having some fun listening to the Bad Larry's. I can't wait to walk around the fair and just enjoy some time together as a family. The older the kids get the harder it gets to have that fun family time together. Hard to believe that Megan leaves for college in just over 3 weeks.

Anyway even though it is only Wednesday, it is going to be a great weekend. Well I am off to get some stuff done around the house and have some play time.
