And then Monday came and Kelsie ventured off to the new and wonderful world of 3rd grade. Jackson and I went to kindergarten orientation and spent one last afternoon hanging out together. And everything seemed to go back to normal. We just needed a little structure in our lives.
Jackson's first full day of school was Tuesday. It was a crazy morning, trying to get 2 kids dressed, fed, and ready, but somehow we got them both there on time. As much as I hate to admit it, I think I will have to start waking up earlier. (Yuck!) I had these grandiose dreams of getting so much done while the kids were in school and I wasn't nearly as productive as I hoped for, but I did get a chance to clean the house and have a couple of hours to myself while Chloe slept. I didn't turn the tv or the radio on all day, I just enjoyed the peace. By the time 3:00 rolled around I was so anxious to hear every detail of Jackson's day. I wanted to know who he sat by, what he did, who he played with at recess, what his favorite part of the day was, and on and on. And when I picked him up and asked him how his first day was, all he said was "Fun! Can I go play now?" I think I missed him more than he missed me.

I am sure he missed you just as much. He was just so busy having fun that he forgot that he missed you. Our kids are getting too old (and so are we).
I am so glad we don't have all day kindergarten here! I would miss my Isabelle way too much. I am glad your cute kids fought before school-- now I know good moms have that problem too. I think it is just to make us all happy that school is back in session so we don't miss them so much. It was so good to see you when you were up. Maybe someday we will get to Texas :-).

New school years are exciting for kids AND for Moms! We all seem to do better with a schedule!!
Hooray for school!
Mackay is only gone for 3 hours but he says the same thing. He goes everyday for 3 hours, that was a huge change for me.
