Hard to believe

The summer is almost over and it's hard to believe that my eldest will start school a week from Friday. It'll only be a half day for her. The following Tuesday will be her first full day and my two youngest will start at their new daycare that same day too.
I will admit that I am excited about, but also a little sad. My kids are growing up. Starting something new. I am sad to see them grow up, go off to school/daycare, and to see the summer end. What also makes me sad is that not only is my eldest starting kindergarten this year, but in a few months we'll be registering my second daughter for kindergarten.
Man, does time fly by.

Yes, summer flew by. Thankfully for me as it was mostly bad.
Your kids must be close in age?

@Courtlynn It's not always easy, but it's still nice to have them close in age.

The days of summer are truly limited now. I am trying to do as many outdoor activities as possible. This weekend we are taking our granddaughter to one of the local fairs. Usually we just walk around and look at the displays for about an hour and head out.
This year we will be bringing Little Miss on some of the rides suitable for her age. Also seeing the livestock as she loves farm animals. There are puppet shows and other events to entertain her as well. Should be a fun time!

@dodo19 we can still do things outdoors when it is cold out. However, do we want to freeze our butt off?

@ElusiveButterfly I know I don't want to freeze my butt off, and I know I'm not the only one.

It's crazy how fast time goes! I cannot believe my oldest is in 6th grade now. That doesn't even seem possible!
I hope your kids have a great school year. =)

Yes..Time flies so fast but colorful and just wonderful..One thing I remember on my childhood time was the busy days in preparing our things for school, feeling excited having new things to use at school, wondering who will be our teachers are, meeting again those school friends and new ones..It is really nice being a kid

Yep, it does! And as we get older it seems to fly even faster and there is no way to slow it down.

My son is 3 and I know I will be excited for him to start school, but sad and nervous for him at the same time. It'll def be a new experience. And yes time flies by way too fast with kids!

It really sad because your baby before is now a student. They do something that there not do before. And they meet new friends there.
Like me I don't know what I feel if my baby son is growing up soon
