First Day of School

Well another first day has come and gone. I always thoroughly enjoy our summers and by the end I'm usually heard to say that these kids need to be back in school (and they do) But each year, I send them off and have my annual first day of school cry. They are so precious and it really is so hard to let them go. Nicole reminded me that next year I will be all alone... GASP! Will I even be able to breathe? Let's not think about that just now, I have 364 more days to NOT think about that. Jayme started grade 5 this year and Brady is in grade 3. Brady is worried about how hard grade 3 will be; I told him at bedtime tonight that I think he is the smartest boy in grade 3, when he disagreed, I told him that at least he is the handsomest! Jayme's teacher assured us that there will be a minimum of 40 minutes of homework each night... YIKES!
I kept super busy today and didn't even have a minute to sit, so I barely noticed that they were gone, we celebrated the first day with a supper out a McDonalds. Can hardly believe that we're back already, but ready or not here it is!
