What does Autumn mean to you?

Back to school!!! Summer is great. I love my kids dearly and enjoy spending good quality time with them. After the first 4 weeks, they start to get on each other's nerves which of course gets on my nerves. They get bored and intentially annoy each other for something to do. A vacation taken the beginning of July is always much more enjoyable than a vacation taken the end of August. When they become rude and disrespectful to each other I take away privlidges. They think of me as the mean ugly troll who won't let them have any fun. I think the vacation is just too long. They should divide up the time off and distribute it throughout the year. This would make time off from school much more enjoyable. When September arrives, the first day of school is so peaceful and refrshing. I love the colored leaves, the pumkins growing in the garden, and the fresh apple cider, but the first day of school, tops it all!
