Back to school!!!

I know I am a little late a posting this, but I can't hold back my excitement any longer... no more dragging 3 kids to the grocery store, or having to hear them wine of boredom, or constantly fight. I can finally sit on the couch to read a book without having to lock myself in my closet. I can have a conversation on the phone without being interrupted. No more fighting the crowds at shlitterbahn with my arms overloaded with floaties, a huge beach bag, and a cooler, while pushing a huge stroller with 2 kids trailing behind me.

Okay, I know I still have 2 kids at home, but one more really does make a difference. Amaya started Joy school last week, so I do get 4 hours a week to get a lot of things done, and I finally get to spend some time alone with Gabriel.

Damien is now in first grade and loves it. He was so excited when he found out his teacher was going to be Mr. Wilson. What an awesome teacher he is! First grade is a lot tougher for him than Kinder. He talks a lot in class and that's been a problem for him. His teacher said he does outstanding academically, but struggles with following directions.

Amaya goes to Joy school twice a week and is now a 'big girl'. Me and four other moms take turns teaching every 5 weeks. I taught last week and it was a little crazy having all those 3 & 4 year olds here, but we had fun. I look forward to my break next week.
