Look at this little spotlight hog.....Does it remind you of anyone? This child learns a new song or a new word everyday....Amazing!

Schools In! Yea!

Thank goodness, school has started. I think Tate was starting to get really bored at home. The last few weeks of heat really did us all in as it was hard to go outside and play without having a heatstroke! He got up quickly this morning and was ready to go before I knew it! He almost didn't even let me walk him to his room this morning.....but he changed his mind and even turned around expecting his kiss when I left. I pecked him on the head to keep his classmates from laughing and left. It was much more emotional for me this year. Maybe because he seemed so grown up and independent......

Avery realized that Tate was going somewhere this morning, too, and threw a fit when I went to get her out of the car at Joan's. When I opened the door, she actually said, "I no go Ni," which is Avery-speak for "I'm not going to go to Gran's today, thank you very much." I was laughing so hard I nearly dropped the wild, rabid thing on the ground trying to carry her in.

Another one of my children started school today, too. Rob went back to college today to finish his degree in art. He wants to be an art teacher when he grows up...... I don't know how he's going to make it (or how I'm going to make it) these next few years, but we hope it will be the best thing for our family in the future. We've just got to get through the next year and a half (or two).
