School, sch-mool


So school has started.  Alex going into 1st and Sydney starting preschool.  Both are happy to be gone and honestly, I'm happy to have them out for awhile.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE MY KIDS, but it doesn't mean we have to be together all the time.

the other day while at school Alex was "laughing so hard at a joke that I fell over" and cracked his head open.  Our house phone wasn't working at the time, Aaron's cell was off because he was in clinic, and my cell was inside charging while I was outside painting.  Alex sat in the office the last hour of school waiting for someone to pick him up.  Luckily the bleeding had stopped by the time I got there.  Probably not winning any parenting awards in the near future.

  2. That's Ok - when we lived in Germany I slipped at school and broke my arm. My mom had to finish her shopping at the Commissary before she could come pick me up. :)

  4. Hey! It's Jessie. I'm glad you started a blog! I love being able to keep in touch with people. Ours is www.turbojesta.blogspot.com. There are a few people from Spokane linked on there if you want to find more people you know. I guess they call that blog stalking but it's fun anyways. I'm glad to see you guys are doing well!!

  7. Don't feel too bad about not joining the blogging world. I wouldn't so Amanda finally said that she was going to do one for our family and guess what? She does. She picks the photo's and writes all the comments and she is doing a great job.
    Sydney's pre-school picture is really cute and I love how excited Alex looks heading off to a full day of school.
    Can't wait to see some new pictures of the painted house.
    Love you,
    Cathie

  10. Reminds me that having a cellphone is not all it is worth - I leave mine deep in my purse and then I never hear it either! Oh well! Glad you have a blog - I will link up!
