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!!

The torture. The madness

I try. I try to make food last. I try to stick to a grocery budget and sometimes ( more than I'd like) I fail. I'm slowly getting better at buying the important stuff in bulk. Our main meats. Beef. Chicken. Pork. I can stretch that out for months. The big things of Sunny D last about 3 weeks....etc you get the idea. The worst thing I could possibly do is go to Sams on a Saturday afternoon. WHY?? WHY do I do that to myself? It's not like I'm that busy Monday thru Friday! O well lesson learned. When I do go back it will be on a Tuesday morning....a few months from now!

New School Year

The new year is upon us all. The kids and I are glad to have our routines and schedules back in full swing. I don't think the transition phased dad one bit :) I have had a hard time adjusting to my time at home. Jaxon is going all day now and that leaves me with 7 hours of uninterrupted time. Time to get things done for my photography business. Time to clean the house. Time to organize closets and do the things that I neglected over the summer. I feel lost with out him in the afternoons. I just hope he's missing me as well :) Jessie wasn't as excited to go back to school. In her world summer would last until Christmas and Christmas break would end in May. But it is a bittersweet year for her. She's the big 5th grader and it's her last year at the school she has known since the 1st grade. A lot of friends will be going separate ways come next year when they enter Middle School. She will be taking on the violin this year. She is maturing and grow...

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...
