Alex's first day of Kindergarten! (Hallelujah!)

Alex started afternoon Kindergarten today and we ALL were excited! I requested morning K because I knew with afternoon all I would hear in the morning was, "is it time to go yet? when does school start?". Sure enough, that's how our morning went! Oh well, hopefully he'll get used to it. Sounds like he had a great day! Andy was able to take a lunch break, see Alex off, and take me to lunch. It was awesome!!
Proud of you little dude! Love you!

First day of 2nd Grade!!

Isn't she gorgeous!!???!! My big 2nd grader!

Yup, they stole the camera

And, yup, they are strange children!

Dear Samantha,

You are in time-out right now for over an hour and you are screaming and banging on the walls just like you did yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. You have called me "awful" and "rotten", and the kicker - "a not fun mom". But guess what? Someday, you'll have a kid JUST LIKE YOU, and you will call to complain to me, and I will laugh, read you this post, and then offer words of encouragement (just like my mom has done to me). For the record: I do NOT like to punish you. I do NOT find it fun or amusing, but you give me no choice. My advice: LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES!!!!

Love,
Your awful, rotten, no-fun Mom
