First sign – the kids went back to school.  Did you ever see the commercial for Staples where the Dad is flying around the store on a shopping cart while the song the Most Wonderful Time Of The Year plays?  Great commercial.

Second sign – we close the pool.  We got most of the heavy work done today; pulled the stairs out, cleaned it, added chemicals, drained it below the skimmer, and put the Winter cover on.  The rest can happen over time as we put away the deck furniture, pool toys, and take the pump and filter inside.  It was a great Summer and the kids probably swam an average of 4 days a week.  Just another reason I say they live like Rock Stars.
