First Day of Second Grade

Monday was a great day! Evan started the second grade and Mia started Kindergarten. If you don't know Mia is my niece! I was very happy she got to go to FCS and has Evan's kindergarten teacher as her teacher. Evan gets to see her on the play ground and they get to carpool after school.

Back to School

Hi all. Sorry I know it has been a while. I never knew how hard this would be. Many funny things happen but I simply don't have the memory to store it for later. (I'm working on it.)

So summer is officially over as we start the second grade tomorrow. I was blessed enough to  get Evan dinner, a bath and in bed by 7pm. Early I know but my kid needs his beauty sleep. His alarm is set for 7am. We'll see what time he actually wakes up.

I was in my room finally tackling the boxes that have been piled up since we moved in 4 months ago. Evan walked in gave me a hug.
"You should be asleep!" I said.
"I'm so tired." He replied.
"You know it's not morning yet," as we walked down the hall to his bedroom. As he reached the door he said, "yes it is, help me."
"No Evan, go to sleep," as I tucked him in.
As I gave him one last look from the doorway, nice and comfy in his bed he said, "I like to swim!"
"Yes it's fun!" I said as I closed the door and laughed out loud realizing he was asleep the entire time.


To my friends who have children with night terrors, I'm praying for you tonight. I am thankful that Evan no longer has to deal with that. As for those of you that have kids going to school tomorrow...woooohoooo. I can finally get some peace and quite on my day off and get back to work at a regular time.  ;)
