Twas The Night Before School Starts 2011 . . .

I feel like I just posted this last week for a 1st grader and 3rd grader --- how times does fly! Well, here we are again - first day clothes layed out, backpacks ready, lunches packed, bellies full of "last day of summer" dinner - speghetti, salad, corn and rolls and oatmeal cookies for dessert. . . Kerry said there's nothing like the first day of school- meaning of course - that by week two I will scrambling for clothes morning of, stuffing lunch boxes as I walk out the door and they will be shoveling food in as they exit the house! For now . . . the house is quiet and picked up and we have 3 sleeping sweeties . . . One future 4th grader-- enetering the big world of Ledbetter Intermediate, seated front and centered in Mrs. Mueller's classroom (she must have gotten the memo!)- and ready for changing classes, picking his own seat in the lunchroom and the cool bigger playground with more basketball goals!

One future 2nd grader, returning to Pop Williams and seated front and center in Mrs. Schmitt's classroom (he'll be in the back by week two - once they realize he is NOT his brother!) Ready to see old friends, tell tales from summer and check out the new improved basketball goals he longed for last year at recess!

And agian, one future Ruler of the Roost (his monarchy is about up!) He will resume position in the living room - sitting in whoever's spot he wants to, watching his choice of programming, playing with any toy he wants, hitting the playground and gym at FAC with Mom and well -- ruling the roost!

Night!Night!
