And now it begins....

Xander- 3rd Grade

9 years ago, when I had my first child,

I very willingly and excitedly gave up my days to myself.

I very willingly and excitedly gave up quiet time.

I very willingly and excitedly gave up being able to come and go on a whim.

Asher- 1st Grade

BUT now, 9 years after my first child,

I am SO excited to get a little bit of the days to myself, the quiet time, and the coming and going back!!

My kids are all now officially in school all day!!

Last year was a nice intro to alone time, but the twins were only in school 2 1/2 hours a day.

BUT NOW, they are there from 8-3... Monday-Friday!!

and

Jonathan- Kindergarten

I'M SO EXCITED

I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT!!

I love my kiddos so very much!! I enjoy hearing every afternoon all about their days at school; about their teachers that they love; about their new friends; even about the math papers and spelling words. But I also love sending them back the next morning so they can keep learning more and playing more... AND so mommy can have some mommy time!

This year, though, I've signed up to be a substitute teacher. So who knows how much "ME" time I'll end up with once we get into the school year and they start needing subs.

Bella- Kindergarten

BUT for now, I am loving that this week has been all about what mommy wants to do- watching shows, taking naps, playing video games, jamming to Pandora tunes... whatever I wanna do!

The Boni Bunch started school 1 week ago today, and they love it! So does their mom!!

Hope you enjoy their "First Day" pictures!
