School is over (for Third Son) . He had his last two final today, and then to celebrate, had his last two baby teeth pulled. Pretty soon he will get together with his buddies, and at a ceremonial bonfire they will burn all the papers from 10th grade that they don't need to keep (which is most of them.) I will not have to hurry in the shower in the morning (for some reason, he likes to use our bathroom), and my evenings will not be spent nagging him about homework. He is going to find a job (hopefully one that he can start after we get back from our youth group trip to North Carolina), and take Brazilian Jujitsu.
I dimly remember the sheer bliss of starting summer vacation -- a sense of freedom that has never been duplicated by grown-up one-week vacations. I envy him!

Yes, I was saying the same to #1son yesterday. The two younger ones are in school until next Monday, but we have already started the "time to get up - I't your last Tuesday...."
