First Day of school!

Alaina is going into the first grade this year,
her teachers name is Mrs. Blackburn!
She's very excited and I hope this is a great year
for her. She's already reading very well and loving it.
Brenden is going into the 4th grade this year
and his teacher is Mrs. Williams.
This is year is going to be a challenging year
for Brenden, but I'm hoping is goes well.

Clayon my stud!
He is in the 6th grade this year! I think
he's excited, feels and acts more mature.
I have 2 middle schoolers, I feel old!

Mackay is in 7th grade this year!
Another year older and a little wiser.
I hope this is a good year from Mackay
and that he continues to improve.

Waiting for the bus!

This is year is bitter sweet for me. My kids are
growing up and I don't have a baby at home anymore.
Now is the time I have to figure out what I'm
doing with my life, beyond my family life.
Should I stay home still and volunteer at the school
or do I try and find work? Time flies too quickly.
Like a friend of mine said. I'de like to say I'm going to
be much more productive now, The house will be
spottless, laundry will be done, I'll get all my
errands done and I will have a snack ready
and dinner going as soon as the kids get home
from school. hmmm....I cannot commit to all that
in writing, so don't hold me to it!:)
Also yesterday we got a new.....
Meet "Frizzy", very cutely named by Brenden.
We found this kitten either lost or abandoned
at Erin's parents house! We have recently lost
one of our cats, who either ran away or got lost
and we've been very sad.
So this little guy has been fun to have around.

Your kids look so cute all ready for there new school year. I had a cat just like that growing up. Though my hubby is allergic to cats. I've got one more year until both my kids are in school all day.
