Back to School

Summer's over! Back to real life. Routines start again. Hallelujah!!!

Travis is finally in kindergarden!! Was I sad? Not a single bit!! Was he nervous? Not at all! He is loving school. He has gotten a "green light" award everyday for good behavior (yes, I am talking about Travis :) ) He has a good teacher. Unfortunately, he did not get into the school that I wanted him to go to (5th on the waiting list), but oh well. Maybe next year? Since school started they have been working on routines (definitely not academics... colors and the alphabet). Trav is a smart kid! Reading is one of his favorite things to do. He has gotten into The Magic Treehouse books. He also loved to do math "homework". I will make 15 or so math problems (like 56+43) and he thinks it is so fun. Let's hope he always feels this way about homework!!

Sara is back to preschool 3 days a week. I LOVE her preschool. Two of her good friends are in her class this year and she is so excited!! My little girl is a social butterfly! She is getting to be a great little artist. Rainbows are her favorite to color. Sara is starting to write words too. I can't believe she will be in kindergarten next year!!

Back to School

Finally, the kids went back to school after a couple weeks off.

Sara started preschool in July. She goes 2 days a week and loves it! She talks about all her new friends (especially Tanner). Preschool makes her feel like a big-girl!

Travis started going to pre-kindergarten. He missed going to kindergarten by a couple of days (and yes, I would have sent him, really!) and I thought this would be the best alternative. He goes 5 days a week, which he needs. Unfortunately, he goes from 8-11:30, and 9 is Leah's nap time. So, I really don't have time to run any errands and there is definitely no time for any mall trips. I guess that I might save a little money. He really likes going to the elementary school, especially since most of his friends started kindergarten.

Jay and I really can't believe how big our kids are getting. Time is just flying by! Before we know it, they will all be at school, and then in high school, and then....I don't even want to think about it!
