and now school has started... here's my poem for my children as they drifted off to sleep:
Twas the night before schools starts when all through the house, 
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; 
The school clothes were hung on the closet door with care,
In hopes that the school bus soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of new I-pads (school provided) danced in their heads.
School starts tomorrow, it is all bitter sweet... 
welcome 2013-14 school year, I hope it's quite neat.
