First Day of School


 How did it sneak up on me?  


Somehow I have a Junior, an 8th grader, and a 4th grader.  

They don't listen, I say stop growing, and they don't listen and obey.  They keep growing.  They are so excited about school this year.  They are all among the oldest in the school, so the maturity level has kicked up. 


Jacob is the only one with new shoes, and of course they had to be the brightest yellow we could find, but only Jacob, because we decided a. the big boys' school shoes from last year were in ok shape, and because b. they'll KILL them in Marching Band.  So maybe new shoes for them for Christmas.


Jacob picked the 1st Day of School shirts for everyone this year, he liked the sailboat icon, which is Nautica brand. He chose everyone's favorite colors.  They look pretty nice. 




Chris's bus stop is now down the street and around the corner, because there aren't that many juniors that don't drive, so he has to go where the underclassmen are. It wasn't too long ago when I hated him walking out of my site, the bus stop was 5 doors down, and I called Transportation to move it.  
That's not necessary now. 


Sam meets out front. Whew! 


Jacob car rode today, on the 1st Day because they slated the bus stop to be an hour before school starts. That's a Nope. He'd get in fights right away. So we decided to drive him. I'm hoping it changes to a more reasonable time. 


There are perks to having to drive Jacob to school. 
Eric joined me and we got to go out on a date. 
We visited a new place, Brown Skin Coffee and Tea, a place that is minority owned, and new. 
I got a lovely latte, and it was cool enough outside, we opted to sit outside. 


On a date with my hunny booboo!  
Cheers! 
I love this new tradition we've begun, to go out for coffee, and enjoy each other. We try to go on one date a month, but it's harder to do that in the summer.  
I'll miss the boys not being home. But with Band, they hardly were home. 
I'll miss them being around, Jacob especially.  
But they need the routine of school.  And I will get used to the quiet. 
Happy 1st Day of School!
