First Day of School

Here we are yet again with the first day of school.  Buddy said this morning, he couldn't believe it and then he followed that statement with, "we'll blink and it'll be the last day - insane".  I couldn't agree more. 
Buddy was up and completely dressed before I got up at 6:30.  He was a little anxious as was LG.

But once they got there, they were ready for the day.  I can't wait to hear all their stories and what they liked best.  my guess it will be PE and lunch. 

The Babe has already asked 3 times where they are.  Its going to be a long day for him.  But he'll go a half day tomorrow to the Bunny (2 year old) preschool class.

It's all happening again!

Stunt Doubles

At least they have helmets on! Happy Summer!

Last Day of Summer

School starts in the morning and while I am excited for the change and start the routine, its bittersweet. 
I can't believe that Buddy is going into the 4th grade.  We got his packet out and ready and he'll be doing a 1-page written report each month as well as read a book.  Wow, that's a work load we are not used too.
LG is excited but I'm a little nervous, because rumor has it there's 33 kiddos in his class. I realize there's two teachers and they are rarely all together, but still that creates gaps for kids to fall through and it just makes me nervous and unhappy.  But he's ready for it.
Babe is really excited for the Bunny Class from 9:30 to 2:30 four days a week. It'll be great.
And I'll be working in the church office three days a week and I'll looking forward to getting to work and having the extra cash. 
We've had a good summer and it's moved so quickly as it always does.  Here's to summer and looking forward to school.  I'll try to post pics tomorrow!

Sewing Day

I spent the morning sewing odds and ends as well as getting Babe's things ready for preschool. He picked out his fabric yesterday and was very sure of his choice. He is pretty excited to use his nap mat and pillow! I'm just happy to make it for him.

LEGOS, LEGOS, LEGOS

One of the main activities the boys do when it's hot outside and its not tv time, is play legos. This is what my living room currently looks like.

It's H-O-T, hot!

It's been over 110 the last 4 days and I'm not happy about it! So I broke down bd loaded the boys up to go to our YMCA for a dip in the indoor pool. Not quite cool but not the same has swimming outside in the blazing sun! Babe did really well listen and staying close while making our way to the pool and once there never complained once about wearing a life jacket. Thanks Gramma for making him so comfortable with them while we were at your house!
Buddy and LG also stayed close be ME in the pool and we got to swim for an hour! We can home very hungry and tired, which is a very good thing having been cooped up in the house for 3 days!

He's beginning a new chapter!

Today, Buddy cooked his own scrambled eggs from beginning to end! He was so excited! I was nervous of him burning himself, a little sad that he's growing up, but most of all proud that he's interested in cooking and helping out! He has always been very thoughtful and now he's really starting to help out around the house more- although I think that has something to do with earning money. Haha!
