how can it be?

he was happy to see that his owl was winking.

this little guy is off to preschool.  he wasn't thrilled, but went with it.  i was in love with getting to buy new school supplies.  that was always my favorite thing about school.  and the smell of them.  yum.  anyway, he goes full days all week which works out great for childcare and all and will be sure to make it easier for me to let him go come time for kindergarten.  i mean, he goes to a real school and learns real things...it's only just begun.  d said in the car while pulling away from school, "here goes the next 13 years of our lives."  more like 14, but well said anyway babes.  after a rough first couple days and a meeting with his teacher, he is doing much, MUCH better.  his teacher even called me at home last night to tell me what an awesome day he had.  thanking God he is where he is. 

 

 

didn't even look back.

was so thirsty since he didn't find his water bottle
in his bag and he refused to use the water fountain.

q started a new daycare, too since i never really liked where he spent a couple days of his week and our favorite girl who came to our house couldn't this semester.  it is a good enviroment for him and he is doing very well.  mr. independent.  still doesn't say much.  loves bananas to pieces.  loves to give pounds and high fives, play basketball, race cars and beating on the washer and dryer to hear the funny noise.  he is not liking going to bed lately, taking a bath or us feeding him.  a few weeks back at his 18 month check up, nurse had to measured him, noted measurements and then had to come back into room to do it again because she thought she messed up.  turns out he really just grew 2+ inches in 2 1/2 months.  tall guy with a big belly.

excited!

 

banging on the door to get in.

as if we didn't have enough going on with m's new school and q's new daycare and d's new schedule for work, my classes started yesterday.  i got a big box of books in the mail tuesday and so it all begins.  two classes first 8 weeks and three the next 8 weeks.  looked at assignments today and they are very fast paced.  and that's putting it mildly.  we are settling into a routine and my schedule will get ironed out soon allowing me two full free days to do school while all the boys are away.  success.

still trying to find the perfect dress for the perfect wedding coming up in oct.  the one i really wanted is sold out and the next one i really wanted is sold out, too.  really people.  so it's back to the drawing board although time is closing in.  excited for it.  need to get crafty on a few little things for it.  no, shan, i am not telling you what it is! ;)

have a couple shows coming up in sept.  really need to get busy on those.  i know, how many more things can i possibly put on my plate.  trust me, it's a large one.  maybe too large?!  i mean, i have procrastinated all day today while i had hoped to get some things made for work, do some school work, laundry, empty the dishwasher, decide on dinner...and now it's time to get the little monsters.  cute little monsters i might add.
