First Day of School and Other Things!

Yesterday was the first day of school for my two oldest.  While I have to admit it's definitely easier to get things done around here, it's also a little quieter than I'm used too.  Today I was even a little bored without them.  They on the other hand are loving school.  Both really like their teachers and I think it's going to be a good year. 

I'm not sure when she grew up so quickly.  I swear I was just dropping her off at Kindergarten the other day.  Not sure where where that pretty face came from either.

Hmmm........I think he was more concerned about getting to class on time than an embarrassing picture from mom.

By the way these cute first day of school signs came from HERE and they were free.  It's a super cute blog if you haven't already discovered it.

Even one of the neighborhood dad's wanted in on the fun!  (Sorry Jason, I couldn't resist)

Some other good news is my twin sister is here with her family visiting us from Canada.  She used to live just up the road until she turned on us and moved to another country :)  It's so fun having them here.  I'm loving spending time with her sweet kids who have grown up so much.  We both have 4 year olds who are pretty spunky (that might be putting it mildly).  We took bets on how long it would take them to get into a fight (is that bad?).  It only took about 24 hours.  They love each other though, they will both cry when it's time to say goodbye (so will I).  

My husband also started a new job a couple of months ago.  He now works in the middle of nowhere (I'm not kidding).   The commute is about 1hr 45 min.  Luckily he has found a van pool to ride in.  He leaves around 5 in the morning and gets home a little after 7.   It's good to have him in  a STABLE job that he enjoys but hard having him get home so late every night.  

So there ya have it.............what we've been up to.  My friends keep saying I need to post pictures of my house.  I guess I'm waiting until it's more decorated, but lets face it - that could be a while.  I will try and get some pictures posted.    

By the way, I'm not sure if many people read this anymore - seeing that I took like a year long brake.  Leave me a comment, let me know if your still around!!!
