My wee little children (snort) have only three days left of freedom until the school bell rings once more. The same is true for their wee little cousins (who really are munchkins! ha!), whose school in the next town over starts on August 7th, as well. And their sweet cousins daycare was over on Friday, but, their school doesn’t start until this Thursday, leaving them without care for three days. Sammie and I were super excited to hear this news, as that means that we get to keep them for three days! We don’t get to see them a whole lot, so this was good news!

So the kids are here, and they’re all playing together – even the gangly teenagers – and they’re having a blast! Three days left – it’s a lovely sunny day out – and on Thursday they will all be stuck in the walls of their assorted schoolhouses. I wonder what five children would do on such a day as this? What is it they would find exciting and fun to wind down those last, lazy summer days?

They’re playing SCHOOL!

Crazy kids! Hahahahaha!

Everybody has their very own laundry basket desk and they look like they’re working hard, don’t they? Little buggers – just can’t wait to get to school! Hahaha!!

And here’s their lovely and kind teacher, Miss Sammie. She just loves her students so much!

….except, that is, when they try to sneak a snack early! She quickly jumps up from her post and opens up a can ‘o…..well, you know!

Yep, she’s a toughie, that Miss Sammie! I’m just glad she’s not my teacher! ;)

Goofy kids – they’re still playing school, too! They’ve been going for at least three hours now. They went through the ‘lunch line’, that was manned by me, the principal, because, the lunch lady quit this morning. She ran outta here screaming about something or other this morning. One child was sent to the principal a few times – the tall one – and was still bad, so he wound up in ‘Juvie’. Funny thing is, in ‘Juvie’, he gets to surf the net. Hmm… The rest of them are in gym class right now. It just cracks me up that with so few ‘freedom days’ left – they’ve opted to play school!!
