Sneak Peek

Been a busy week trying to get the boys ready for back to school on Monday! It is hard to believe that summer is already over. This evening we went to Panther Camp...aka Open House...and met the boys teachers. The past two years we have been so blessed to have had two rocking teachers! Their pride in teaching and desire to make learning fun was quite apparent the moment you walked into their class rooms. This year not so much on the apparent side though both teachers seem very nice. 
Littliest will be going to  Kindergarten and lets just say he might as well be attending class in a cement box. It was literally that exciting y'all! I almost wanted to cry. There was not one fun thing about his class room what so ever and I just think that is a tragedy. Kids that age already have such a hard time leaving their mama's that they need to have a fun and exciting room to great them every day. I think I may just  have to sneak in there one day and do some decorating y'all!;)

On a differ note today instead of heading out to HobLob to get a few things I needed I worked on finishing up the new armoire.

I am 98.9% completed. I am thinking I may be changing the inside color so you will have to just wait for the big reveal!:)

Last but not least wish me luck for tomorrow! It is my first day on the job at The Old Oak Cottage! I know it will be fun but it will be so different. I have not worked outside the home in 7 years y'all! Yikes! I am truly blessed though because I do not think I could have found a better part time job! Thanx Marci for the opportunity!

  Hope y'all have a fabulous weekend! Enjoy your family and friends and stay cool! The car read 100 at 7:45 pm!! Please Fall find your way to us soon!!
Also before I forget thanx for all the Anniversary well wishes!! Y'all rock!

We made it!

Well today is day number two of kindergarten. The start was fine but the leaving was heartbreaking. Oldest has not cried at being left at school since he was 2. So of course since he started the water works I started the water works. Felt like a fool but then felt better when I saw another mommy out in the hallway just bawling her eyes out. Not better because she was just a bawling but better because I was not the only one.

Spent the morning hanging out with Littliest. We went to HobLob and then to Target because well as some of you may know they have Pizza Hut there and my boys figured that out sometime last week so now they think it is just awesome to go and have lunch at Target. Who knew! We have done it a total of twice now. For less than $6 I can feed two people with a personal pan pizza,bread sticks and a drink. Ya can't beat it for a nice treat that is as long as they are in the sharing kind of mood. After that we returned something at HomeGoods and then waited in line for Oldest.

The first words out of his mouth when he got in the mini were "Mom I had a great day and did you know that raccoons are nocturnal animals!?". It was a Noggin moment and just melted my heart. I knew he would have a great day but it was rough at first.

So here is to all those mommies who are starting on day # 2 as well! Cheers we made it! Now just two weeks till Littliest is at school and this mama gets some M E time! Have a good one ya'll!

A Complete Success!

We walked out of the house to go to Flight School aka Open House and this is what we saw. I took it with my new IPhone which was an anniversary present. 8 yrs on paper but 13 altogether! Again time flies. Anyways, I digress. The pic does not due it justice. It was just a beautiful sight to behold.

This is what we saw on the way to school! Mind you the school is literally just down the road in our neighborhood. We could walk if we wanted to. Okay, maybe a bit far for a normal walk but perfect for a brisk walk on a chilly day but only if somebody stayed behind just in case we could not make it back. Ha! Again I digress!It was beautiful and a double one at that! I am kinda corny and for me it was a sign from above that all would be alright. We would make it thru kindergarten and we will make it thru the next 11 -15 years of schooling after that. And yes I did tear up when we met Ms. Harper. Corny again I know but I am just a big ol' softy who loves her babies more than life itself. Now if Oldest had been acing up and was behaving like one of "those" children I would not have been so soft but he was an angel and LOVED school. He loved it so much he wants to get up and go in the morning! HA! Now does he realize he will have to get up at 6:30 every morning?! We shall see what he says Monday morning.

So one down and one more to go. I need to look up when Littliest has his Preschool open house.

Have a good night ya'll! If you are sending your baby birds off to school to I hope your Open Houses were as good as ours was! Again time flies by and we just need to relish in the moments we have with them.
