first week review

Well the first week was a success ! We have work out the carpool lane in's and out's .Those are always fun till everyone learns how they are supposed to do it.We have three first grades this year and then at least 2 second and 2 third so that make for a lot of parents wanting to get to their kids.
Both boys had a great week with no problems,they got to play with their friends from last year and they only have 3 or 4 new kids total so they know everyone.They have teachers who are enthusiastic about teaching and seem willing to work with us.
We have been doing homework all summer so we started doing homework on the 2nd day with only minimal gnashing of teeth and tears .I have a dream that we will not have to argue everyday about homework.It is not that they don't know it or that it is hard ,I just have to say the word and it makes them go into fits ,even if i say it at night or on weekends .It must be one of those auto responses that scientist have been doing research for years and years .you know one of those great unexplained mysteries of the world .
Here's to another great week next week.Let me know if you hear anything about a homework break through

Busy weekend

We had such a busy weekend!
Friday the guys went to Abilene to see their Godmother,i stayed home to do the daycare thing .When they got home I went with my sister,her hubby and oldest son to see JOURNEY ! At winstar in OK. It was great !I loved seeing the women my age that were wearing the same outfit they had worn to the last journey concert they had gone too ,when they were 150 pounds lighter !It was a hoot .Good time Great music
Then Saturday we went to the circus with the in laws.the boys love it we try to go every year ,we join the summer reading program at the library and if they read all the books they get a free circus ticket as a reward .Well worth 25 books . If i can ever figure out how to get the pictures off my phone and on to here then i will gladly share

too close

We are way too close to school starting ! I have no clue where the summer has gone !

I remember when i got to sleep in for most of the day and then ride my bike to the pool or over to a friends house .sit around all day .it was great ,what a life ! now the only chance i get to sleep in is on the weekends and that is still interrupted .so i don't think it counts . i would gladly go back to the whole summer off . you would not hear one argument from me . now my mom might be a little upset that i moved back in with my kids and husband in order to get the summer off...
