Time Flies

The first days and weeks of school have passed. My angelic children have been better behaved this week. Here is the first day of school picture I meant to post last week, but couldn't get my hands on.

I cannot believe that 4 is in PK at HNJ. It seems like yesterday that I was pregnant with her, and 1 was the one in PK. Time sure does fly. Before I know it, 6 will be in PK and I'll be asking myself how we got there.

With this in mind I received a picture from 4's teacher saying how much she loved this picture and just had to share. I sure am glad she did.

Best friends in the making.

I know that sooner than I'd like they will be in 7th grade and I will line them up and take the same picture.

1st Week of School

Today is the official first day of school around here. 1-4 had a first day on Monday, but then it was only half day for 4. Then she didn't have school Tuesday, so today is the first full day for everyone. And 5 has been in camp all week too, so it really feels like school has finally begun around here.

I am trying to enjoy my peaceful days this week as next week, 5 will be home again until after labor day, when his school starts up again.

Its been an exciting week around here. 1 & 2 shared a room until Saturday, when we put 1 & 6 together, and 2 & 5. The little boys are loving it, and the big boys are enjoying a break from each other. They have recesses together this year and we thought it might be a good idea to let them have some separation at home.

Monday afternoon we had melt down city, which was SO fun to be a part of, and an even more difficult Tuesday morning of tired kids. Tuesday afternoon was not as bad as Monday, however they destroyed the house while playing battle which was not so great as I had spent the better part of my Tuesday putting everything back where it belongs.

So today I spent some more time re doing what I had done Tuesday. That wasn't annoying or anything. Hopefully it will be an easier afternoon for everyone.

I have pictures from the first day of school, but DH took them with his camera, so I cannot get to them until he shares his password with me. I've seen them, and they are pretty cute.
