School has started!!

 The girls started school August 27th. This is Jessie. The big 2nd grader. We have already had our share of homework and teacher meetings. This year is going to be fun!! (and i say that with the up most sarcasm!)

 Jill is the big 6th grader in a HUGE school. She was a little over whelmed when her first day was over with. She really had no idea what middle school was made of. So far we are having fun with a touch of that 17 year old hormonal attitude. And I am stoked!

 Jaxon had his last day at his sitters on August 23rd. They had a party and I stopped by to snag a few pictures of him and all his friends. He was O so happy I popped in in the middle of his day with his best friends and crashed their party. Hey, I never said I had perfect kids. But I will capture their moments on camera whether they want me to or not.

And in the blink of an eye our son started school. It's really not head start. I'm confused on what to call it because he will be in Pre-K next year. He's only 3, but will be 4 in a few months. I didn't want to wait another year so we found a Montessori program to put him in 3 days a week. I couldn't be happier about where he is. I love his teachers and the staff and the fact he is making new friends. I love the hands on learning. So far he is so excited and eager to get to school. He even gets upset on the 2 days he doesnt have school and wants to go. He loves the playground and taking his lunch. He helps me get it ready every morning.

I also have fallen in love with my free 7 hours 3 days a week. I am going to get my 25 year old body back one way or another!! Thank goodness school has started and we are all slowly getting back into a routine!!

Where did September GO?!

My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...
