I have a group of friends I have known since my kids were very little. Each year in August, we like to have a last hoorah together the weekend before school starts to celebrate the end of summer and the beginning of the new school year. This year, we had a slip-and-slide kickball party at our house. It caused a big muddy patch in my backyard, but as one of the dads commented, ‘are we raising kids or are we raising grass?’

Back to school preparations in the Dearing house meant going to four stores at the last minute to find those elusive plastic folders with both pockets and prongs in six different colors. We did our final (and best) preparation exploring the Disney parks.

Preparing for back to school involves a whole lot of screaming, panic and trips to Target. With my oldest starting kindergarten, it also meant a whole lot of tears (mostly from the parents). But there certainly is nothing more rewarding than watching them learn and grow. That’s something I wouldn’t trade for anything.
