BACK TO SCHOOL

 
 School started August 26, 2013! I couldn't be happier. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but you mix in hot summer days that are long and you have to spend half the time entertaining them...yea...I was ready for school to start! Our little guy is officially a PRE-K student. He loves everything about his "new-big school". Plus he gets to go where his sister Jessie goes and that just makes his day to be able to walk in with her every morning. He gets out at 11am. We have our afternoon alone time which allows me to help him with homework, eat lunch with him and take naps. He loves everything about his class and his teacher!

 
 Jessie is growing and maturing into a great young lady. She is now in 3rd grader. And really thinks its something to be proud of that her class is upstairs at school. That's where all the big kids go, you see. She will be learning multiplication this year and that has made her very nervous!

 
And Jill. The 7th grader. No longer a small fish in the big pond. Her 17 year old attitude has taken the back seat for now. I think it will turn up a bit going into 8th grade. She is still in orchestra and has taken on athletics. She made the volleyball team!

Here's to another successful school year. Routines, schedules, games, overnight field trips, making new friends and loosing old ones, sleepovers, school parties, birthday parties, meeting new moms, getting to know the teachers, early mornings, lots of coffee, homework, multiplication, dental check-ups, eye appointments, after school snacks, lots of pre-teen texting, boy problems, holidays, and counting down to next summer!! HAPPY SATURDAY!

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...

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...
