being back to school


brandon and kayla went back to school on august 20, and this mommy couldn't be happier! no more, 'i'm bored... what can i do?' all day long. no more fights about a 30-minute time limit on playstation. no more having to say 'go outside and play!!!' 40 times a day.... at least not until the weekend comes.
brandon is in 3rd grade and kayla started 1st. i think it was harder to send her to school this year than it was last year-- i can't believe she's not a kindergartener anymore. they just grow up so fast.
next thing i know, anna will be in kindergarten. but we'll take one step at a time- she starts preschool on monday and is so excited to be able to go to school like the big kids. of course, she thinks she's 16 already, so she shouldn't have a difficult time adjusting to academic life at all.
now, what should i do with the 2 1/2 hours of alone time i'm going to have each day?!? hmmm...

I am sooooo jealous that you have two and a half hours two yourself each day!!! Oh gosh, I wouldn't be wondering what to do...I'd be living it up!!! Enjoy!
