1st Day of School

It's here....It happened.....the first day of the new school year. Oh.My.Gosh! Is it wrong for me to be this excited?! Okay, maybe it is just a bit....I'll tone it down. But c'mon...can ya blame me? I have these 5 crazy boys that are so sick of each other by the end of the summer, they can't even walk by each other without nudging or just outright pushing the other. Then the other one pushes back, then the other one hits him, then the next one yells, then the first one cries, then mom steps in and smacks them both on the head......that never helps, but it makes me feel a little better.
I think in light of the fact that the above scenario and similar ones happen several times daily.....I am very reasonable in my excitement about them being back in school.
So, that's the mom in me that is tired and ready for some peace during the day. The other mom in me is feeling a little nostalgic about having my youngest start kindergarten. Is he really 5 yrs. old? How and when the heck did that happen? It really is true about these days flying by. I think my mom puts it best when she says that time goes by so fast, but a day can last forever. Very true.


I realized that I forgot to spike the boys' hair, so I ran in to get the paste and took care of that before the bus came.....so we needed a new picture. Love the smile.
