August Rabbits: It's finally here...

I would say "Happy Rabbits" but this Rabbits is not so happy...

Dear August...

I've decided I grew up in a special utopia where August is still religiously protected as prime SUMMER territory. But the last two places we have lived have made a blatant attempt to challenge my beliefs that SUMMER is for FUN and AUTUMN is for SCHOOL. I remember growing up and hearing horror stories about how so-and-so's cousin who lives in Arizona started school practically in JULY!! GASP!!! Surely such evil couldn't exist in the United States... the land of the FREE!? 

Am I being dramatic? Of course! But there is a very good reason why I care SO MUCH this year...

Little Man is starting Kindergarten. And I'm a little more than miffed that this whole coming of age situation is basically encroaching on my ideals of Summer. Really, if we were digging a little deeper I would actually admit that the reason I am so put off is because my BABY IS STARTING SCHOOL!! 

Once again I have become THAT MOM I said I would never be. I thought I would be excited to see him go to school... BUT HE'S SO MUCH FUN TO HAVE AROUND!!!

Especially lately as he has decided to finish most of his conversations with me with a slight bow and a "Your Highness." Like who wouldn't want that around ALL THE TIME?? It's totally random but I can't say I hate it!

Dear August 2014...
