Summer Is Coming To An End
Summer has dwindled to almost a mere memory - I am not ready for that. But, this summer was awesome! Me and the kids played lots, and poor Jim worked. Oh wait, before you start to shed tears on Jim's behalf, remember, fall is just around the corner - hunting, hunting, and more hunting. His time is quickly approaching. Anyway, me, Lex, Max and Abi spent lots of days at the pool and the zoo. We played and played - well they played and I chased them. Here are the pics to prove how much we enjoyed the summer of 2008.
Kindergarten - Here She Comes
Wow!! Lexie started Kindergarten on August 18. Unbelievable! I asked her if she wanted me to drive her to school the first day, or if she wanted to ride the bus. Of course, she wanted to ride the bus. So, we went to the very crowded bus stop (we counted today and there were 46 kids at her bus stop), she gets with her friends, Kelsey and Lauren and is psyched when the bus comes. In all of her Lexie cuteness, she just proudly waves to me as she boards the bus - not a bit of nervousness - that's my girl!
She said her first day was great. They had P.E. and did jumping jacks, push-ups and sit-ups (Lex did 10 sit-ups).
Then there was the bus ride home. I had forgotten to tell Lex that the bus would take kids to other bus stops too. So, as the bus starts, one of her friends started telling her and the other girls that they must be on the wrong bus because they were going the wrong way. Well, after Lexie told the bus driver where she lived they finally made it to the stop. The doors on the bus open and hmmm Lexie's mom isn't there waiting for her like she had said she would be. Neither were any of her friend's moms, so she didn't recognize anyone. (I had been told that the bus would be there 10 minutes later than it was). Just as I was headed out the door, Lex showed up on the porch crying. I felt horrible. The poor girl was a bit shaken, but we talked it out and she was okay. I'm afraid I lost my Mother of the Year nomination over this.
Day two went much better. She jumped on the bus. Had music in the music room at school and made it to her mom waiting for her at the bus stop.
We may survive this school thing after all.
