Week 37

Aaaah!  Routine!  Punky went back to school this week.  It's so nice to be back into a consistent routine.  She had a great week and I have no doubt that first grade is going to be a great year for her!

All summer long, Punky hoped and hoped to have Mrs. Wagner for her teacher.  Last year in kindergarten, Mrs. Wagner's class came into her classroom and put on plays for the students.  So, Punky was convinced that Mrs. Wagner's class was the only one to do plays.  Well, thank goodness, Punky got Mrs. Wagner!  And one of her BFFs is in her class too!  There were only two other kids from her kindergarten class in her first grade class, but I think she knows more than half of the kids from the playground, enrichment classes, etc.  She's got a great group of kids in her class and a great teacher!

This week I watched the neighbor boys at 7am and got them on the bus because they were in between childcare.  It was hard for me to get up so early, but I think I am going to continue it (ok maybe 7:30).  It was nice to not be rushed in the morning and it led to a calmer, happier mama when we didn't have to rush, rush, rush.

With the start of school came the start of the kid's activities.  I will blog about that in a few weeks once I get some more photos taken.

Buddy starts preschool next week.  He had his open house and was a little nervous.  I think his first day will go well because the unit is frogs and he is going to bring in his pet frogs to show the class.  He is definitely excited for that!  And so am I...  grocery shopping with no kids!  :)
