Crazy First Week

Well, our first week of school was crazy!

• Homework the first night for Abbie
• Hopie adjusting to first grade
• packing lunches
• carpools
• more homework
• lots of paperwork
• arguments over hair (Mama trumps)
• making sure backpacks are packed
• planners are signed
• excels looked over (Papa's job)
• rushing to the van so we aren't late
• breaking up arguments in the van on the way to school
• etc.....

I felt like this Mom:


Now it wasn't ALL crazy, it just felt like it. The girls are adjusting well. It is going to be a BIG year for both of them. They both love school, which is nice. The routine will fall into place. I hadn't realized how relaxed we had gotten over the summer. I welcome the routine but it always takes me a couple of weeks to adjust. Things will settle down in a couple weeks and this first week will be a blur!
Luke has adjusted just fine to the girls being back in school. I thought he would miss all the noise & company but he cruises around the house with Mama. He plays with the dogs and is a happy boy. That makes things easier than having a grumpy boy in the mix of things. He does like to do puzzles with Mama & show off for her.

So that was the first week ~ ta-da!
