Change is good

I realize that I'm a few days late in posting my first day of school pictures, but aside from the fact that two of my three kids are gone most of the day, I'm still really busy. How exactly does that happen? Where is all the time I was planning to use to clean my bathroom, scrapbook, exercise, read, and play with my baby? Well, wherever it went, one thing is for sure, I've discovered pretty quickly that I'm going to have to downgrade my list....I'm thinking the toilets will be the first to go.


How cute are these two kids!!

Well, it's no secret that I have been looking forward to this day for a very long time, but it turns out that I was not as prepared for it as I thought I would be. I thought for sure I would have a harder time with James going to school than Samm, especially since she went to preschool all last year, but James is one exhausting boy so I was really glad to send him out the door. On the other hand, sending Samm off that first morning was really emotional for me, more so than I would have ever imagined. My little girl is growing up!!!

OK, and just maybe sending her off on the bus with this shady looking character had something to do with how stressed I was that morning.


What happened to the cranky old lady or that fat old man bus drivers?

Well, she made it home so I guess he's OK. Actually she isn't riding the bus in the morning anymore since I have to drive James to preschool, and the afternoon driver is different so you don't have to worry about her at all.

Overall both kids are loving school and Samm even started soccer this week so look forward to some pictures of her first game. She looks so cute with all her gear on. Wow, I guess I really have morphed into . soccer Mom, That's kind of scary, but fun too in a my kids are growing up and becoming fun little people kind of way.

So glad she's not riding with that character!! He is rather shady looking. I can't believe you're actually a soccer mom! Have you seen the episode of King of the Hill where Bobby plays soccer and Peggy is going to watch in a flannel shirt and Minh tries to talk Peggy into borrowing her cardigan? Peggy gets there and ALL the other moms are wearing cardigans. SO- don't forget your cardigan!

I am sure glad that we have the old lady who drives our bus. I dig the hat though, he looks hot. ha ha. No worries about lunch, I need to learn to know when to stop stuffing my face. Hope you have a great day.

Awe Sally you do have some cute kids! It is crazy how fast they grow up isn't it? I think that would be hard to put your kids on the bus especially with that scary looking dude! If we don't move before Av starts kindergarten I can just walk her through the back fence... but I am hoping we will move!
