School : )

School has begun, some of you will be shocked to know that I have been looking forward to this a bit. We've now got first, second and third grade covered. Both Leah and Tessa have teachers that Jeff and Leah had last year so we only have to get to know one new teacher :) Alana starts preschool on the 18th, hopefully she will be in the same class as cousin Oliver so I can go to only one place to collect them.

So my days of leisure are fully here, in just a week and a half it will be only me and my sweet Pete for 3 hours in the morning, for four lovely days a week. What will I do with all my free time? I will make Pete's Christmas stocking, I will read books, I will fold laundry and iron clothes, I will prepare dinners, oh, it will be bliss. I will be calm and collected when my darlings arrive home from school and though they be in nasty tempers we will accomplish our piano practice and homework with the promise of cookies or a light snack before dinner. I ask you, is it only my children who are monsters after school? Jeffer requires a straight jacket and a stern talking to every day, it is awesome. But I digress. I am glad my sweet babies are in school, they have fun there and they learn stuff too, not too shabby.

P.S. Chickens love watermellon.

Woo Hoo! I'm so glad that school is starting too. The girls start Monday! I think that I am going to find a job to keep me occupied. I also think that a scooter with a 6 seater side car is wonderful.

You lucky girl! I've got another week and a half to go. Although, I think I'll be a bit sad this time since they're my only companions.
