Back to School, in July! Seriously!!!

Daniel and Sarah started school today (see picture below).  I know, in the middle of July?!  This Saturday is Pioneer Day in Utah and it is a huge holiday here.  The kids don't have school on Friday so they only have to go half the day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week.  I am pretty sure a monkey created the calendar this year because it is by far the dumbest scheduling I have every seen.  I don't know one family that is going to be in town much this week because of the long weekend.  The teachers are even irritated.
Starting a new school year after finishing the old one a mere two weeks ago is anti-climatic at best.  We haven't done any back to school shopping.  We haven't gotten new clothes.  They just picked their stuff up and went back without much fan fair.  There were more parents at school this morning however.  Most of them were kindergarten parents though so I am not sure that really counts.  
It is hot here finally and we have had our air conditioner on.  I am not looking forward to that bill.  I am sure it will be as fun as the heating bill we got in January.  Utah is a weird state.  It gets down to freezing in the winter and over 100 degrees in the summer.  It is an odd thing.
Sarah was playing with our little neighbor the other day and it was so cute.  She can't wait to be a babysitter and is so good with little people.   I looked out the window to find her and saw her sitting in the wagon playing with little Paisley.  Too cute!
