Today is the last day of summer vacation. Tomorrow the boys start school and I go back to my 9am-1pm work hours. This morning we walked to Robert's (older son) school so that he could find his locker and walk his classes. It is hard to believe that he is in 8th grade...the last year of middle school. Then we walked up to Matthew's (younger son) school and actually said hello to his teacher, who was there still setting up her classroom. The boys' schools are about 1/2 mile from our house. We typically walk the boys to school in the morning, "dropping" them off at their respective school. From home, around to the schools and back home is about a 2 mile walk. Nice to do in the morning. Anyway - Robert knows where his classes are...the boys have their school supplies packed in their backpacks and have cleaned off their desks. They are set to go tomorrow. To honor the end of the vacation, we met DH for a very good sushi lunch (I definitely had my fill of protein for about a month). Now the boys and I are home this afternoon for a little R & R.
In the mail today, I not only received my Just CrossStitch Annual Halloween Issue but also my October issues of The Cross Stitcher. Both have some really neat things to stitch. I can't wait to sit and study them. There are a lot of fun looking autumn and Halloween designs in both.
Drum roll please...I do have a WIP to post...I am stitching "An Angel to Watch Over Thee" a freebie by: By
The Bay NeedleArt. It was a freebie that I printed off and have the need to stitch this for someone special. I am stitching on R&R Royal Blue Linen 32ct.
Hope everyone is doing well and having a good Monday. Off to rest and hopefully stitch.
Remember...Live, Love, Laugh and Stitch Often! Lisa

Hope all goes well when you all get back in the swing of the school year! Nice WIP - already made good progress!
Nice WIP! Good luck to the boys on their first day of school. Hard to believe summer is over!
Very pretty wip!
I cant believe your kids get to start school already. Mine doesnt go back for another week and a half. He'll be a senior in high school this year! My middle daughter starts college next week too. I cant wait to get them out of my hair...now I just need to find a 9-1 job!
My kiddos started school today. It is hard to believe how fast these kids grow. My daughter (oldest) started high school today and it just blows me away! Great mail today! Gorgeous progress on your WIP. Can not wait to see more of it!!
Oooh school starts already for your boys ? Here in Belgium they start on the 1 st of September. But they are all excited too.
Hi Lisa,
I picked up the Halloween issue also but I think I like last year's a lot better. This one is a little different. :-)
School started her on August 25, 2009 so we are well into the school routine.
