Non-stop excitement

It's the eve of the first day of school and the whole neighbourhood seemed to be buzzing with excitement. The weather has been fabulous for ages, and it is calling for rain tomorrow. Hopefully the rain holds off for that initial walk to school and the bus stop.

Findlay will be going to school by bus for the first time tomorrow, so he is pretty anxious about that. Of course, to take his mind off of it, Axel (our cat) decided to go for an adventure outside!

Axel kept us guessing for quite some time until we found him under a neighbour's deck. It took nearly 45 minutes to coax him out of his hiding spot, so the adventure kept the entire family busy.

Throughout the evening, the doorbell was ringing, the phone was ringing and of course the kids were frantic over the cat. Such a typical busy household, but I was reminded by a facebook friend that when you're wishing for them to grow up, it happens in a blink of an eye.

Tomorrow will be chaotic and fun. It's the remaining 180 some odd teaching days that will seem long at points!

Now that the cat is back, we can enjoy the day tomorrow.
