First Day of School!

Can't believe it....first day of school....again.....they are getting older....I am getting older....I wish life had a PAUSE button.  Now that the kids are back in school and I am working less, I am going to catch up on my blogging and start documenting this life that I love so much.

 Taylor is in 6th grade this year.  She is actually the Student Body President this year and so excited.  She promised all the kids to have soda in the drinking fountains.  Works every time. 

Carter is in 5th grade this year.  He has a male teacher for the first time and came home yesterday from the first day so pumped up.  Why?  Because his teacher loves sports and talks like a surfer dude.

Tate is in 1st grade and has the same teacher Carter and Taylor had.  As he woke up today (2nd day) and was reluctantly getting ready, I was explaining to him why we have to do school.  He then let out a big sigh and said,   "I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS WORLD."

Uh, you and me both buddy.

More to come...I promise!

Crazy Mom Meets Sweet, Innocent Child

This kid is constantly drawing and leaving the pictures all over the house.   A few months ago I found this paper lying on my bed.  It's Tate's way of apologizing.  He writes notes and draws pictures with it.

What is that in my hand?  Oh, it's Tabasco.  Yep, that's me threatening him with it.  That's him crying alligator tears, yet both of our mouths are smiling.  Despite the crazy mean eyebrows, our love conquers all with three hearts "rising above" if you will.

On a side note, I think I really do look that crazy when I'm upset.  Way to artistically catch me at my best, Tate!
