Last night the kids could not sleep . . . they were too excited!
The way the kids were acting, you would have thought we were going to Disneyland, or something amazing like that. (Hmmmm . . . Disneyland. That sounds fantastic. Somebody send me there, please?? Pretty please?? )
Nope, we are not heading off to see Mickey today.
Even better . . . School! First Day!
A day of utter excitement, and squealing -- around our place.
Daniel woke-up at 5am and I could hear him saying, "I am overly-excited, I am overly-excited!" When I finally rolled out of bed at 7am he was still chanting to himself. At one point I thought he was going to hyperventilate! It was unusual and weird. I had to tell him to calm down and breath in and out.
He is not normally SO dramatic?
But really, they have both been NUTS! You should have seen them BEFORE we FINALLY got their school supplies -- talk about one-track-minds! That is ALL they would talk about.
Silly children.
Sammi
(Otherwise known as "Hermoine")
Said she is really excited about homework.
Yeah, not sure where that came from?
Daniel
Is excited because he has Sammi's third grade teacher.
Daniel loves playing hard at recess (often obtaining injuries), and friends.
He also loves school and homework.
Who are these kids??
William
Is my buddy this year. He will be homeschool-pre-schooled. I am his BEST teacher, after all. Plus, why would I ever want to send this little cherub anywhere . . . I need his adorable face, and he needs me. I could just squeeze this boy to pieces!
We will have some great fun, laughing and learning.
I love this time of year. I just wish it was not so gal-dern hot!! I'm melting!
Here is to a SUPER 2011-2012 school year!
May the teachers be excellent and the homework enjoyable. :-)
From Mom:
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. They are all getting so big. Tell them Grandma sends hugs and kisses and I would love to have a full report of how they like their teachers, what they are going to do this year, etc. Talk to you soon. We are off to Halifax in a couple of hours. Love you!!
