It Is Time to make a change:)

Okay so at some point as a mom we will all go through this. I thought empty nesting was supposed to occur when your kids go to college. Well that is not entirely true. My boys are starting school. First of all HOW DID THAT HAPPEN. I seriously look at Blayke and think man really??? I thought we were just watching him learn that steak is the BEST meat in the world and that pooing in the closet was not what I meant when I said, "We don't poo in our pants anymore because your a big boy." I thought that was as big as he was supposed to get. LOL OK so obviously that is a bit of a stretch. However I do miss those days and wish they would have lasted a bit longer. Now its on to the world of Mrs. Van Hout's kindergarten class.

To say that he is excited would be a huge OVERSTATEMENT. He loves being at home but he also isn't REALLY upset about it either. I don't have to drag him out of the house every morning but I also don't have him running out the door either. I guess I can live with that. Maybe he will have the same attitude when it  comes time to college. He did however surprise us on the first day of school. He left mom, dad, and Benny on the sidewalk and sprinted into his classroom. It was very exciting for mommy to see some of his anxiety subside!
Well we are now on week 2 of school and we have both learned alot. First of all learning car pool is like the biggest science experiment on the planet. LOL I kind of mean that as a joke but it really is a long time in the car for mommy. We will figure it out better as the days tick off. Blayke has learned that mommy still expects to know about his day so he better start remembering or make something up until it sounds about right: )

Benny had an exciting week too. First of all he has never had mommy to himself for a week. Second of all he noticed how important it is that he has a brother around. Third of all he learned the value of pbskids.org. Well not sure if that is more his lesson or mine but he enjoyed it none the less. The house was sooooooo quite this week. Benny and Blayke don't fight a lot but there has always been that play noise that you can hear throughout the house. It was seriously lacking this week. We did get some outings though as we needed to be around others. Monday we went to the park to play with our best buddy Katherine. Then we went to the mall to play with our other friends Ana, Grant, and Andrew. Then Benny and I browsed a couple of stores.

Mrs. Amy is the lead teacher!

Mrs. Jennifer is the assistant teacher

Finally we rounded our week out by meeting Benny's PreK teachers. Mrs. Amy and Mrs. Jennifer. They are both very sweet ladies and I think he will really enjoy class with them this year. So at sneak a peak we met the class pets. Two frogs that that they are going to name on the first day of school. Benny of course picked Mark and Dave. We also found out that Katherine and Benny will be in the same classroom. This has caused some serious discussions about PDA not being allowed at school. NO KISSES AND HUGS. We have started reverting them over to High 5's : ) They are toooo cute together.



So we will see where this leads us in the coming weeks. One thing I know sure is this mom will start hitting the gym in the mornings and be able to get more housework accomplished. These are some very big changes but hopefully we will all continue to experience them as positive and continue growing. Man being a mom is very busy now: )
