It's the end of summer, they say, and in one three-day weekend the fireflies, sandboxes, and swimsuits of yesterday give way to the school books, pumpkins, and sweaters of tomorrow. Summer clearance sales abound, and Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are already making appearances in the retail world. It's easy to look to the past with nostalgia and to the future with anticipation all at once.
This weekend, though, instead of reflecting on the excitement of summer and the magic of the coming holiday season, I'm going to live now. I'm going to blow bubbles and run on the green grass, throw baseballs and eat ice cream cones. I'm going to spend time telling stories in lawn chairs until dusk. Let Tuesday come when it will, and all that will follow, but this weekend is for now, and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.
I hope you enjoy every minute of your weekend, too!

Great post Rachel! I am enjoying every minute of this family weekend. We just got home from a wonderful day at the beach. It kind of feels like the calm before the storm. It's pretty crazy from the first day of school until Christmas. But I love it all!!
I love the pic too!
I love this picture!!! He looks adorable. And, in regards to your blog....I totally agree. Living in the moment is something we can't escape. We gotta make the most of it! Tara
Thank you Karly and Tara! Karly, I'm so glad you are enjoying your weekend with your family!
