Today could be the day. Or tomorrow. We are still waiting to hear but folks in reality, what’s really the difference between 6 or 7 tonight and 5 am. tomorrow? Either way, by this afternoon, the boys all need to be packed, stacked and ready to roll into the great blue yonder.

This morning is the last trip to town. We are getting their snacks and any other last minute things that were missing from their lists. Later, it will be a last once over on the list and the packs to make sure that everyone has everything. Oh, and in there somewhere I have to wash and sew the final patches on the boys’ uniforms. I really, really hate that these patches change frequently — I think that they do it on purpose to make moms insane.

Another sunny day here in Vermont, which is good. It would be really nasty to be doing all of this in downpouring rain. Shhhh. I shouldn’t talk too loud I am sure.
