And He's Off...
Here is what my cute Nick looked like on his first day of Kindergarten... handsome if I might say so myself. The morning went something like this:
Tyler: "Nick, I stayed home so I can go with you on your first day."
Nick: "Why?"
Tyler: "Well, it's your first day and I just thought you might like me to me there."
Nick: "Why?"
I would give anything for just a fraction of his independence to wear off on Kylee! I drove him to school and while driving explained what the routine would be... he would be dropped off at the curb, would run to the playground, listen for the whistle, line up with his class in front of his door and wait for his teacher to guide them in. My explanation was supposed to be for future days, not his first. We pulled into the parking lot and I parked. He opened the door, jumped out, said "Bye Mom" and was off! I quickly caught up to him, camera in hand, and told him I would walk him there on the first day. His response was, "Why?" Again, I love his independence but I needed my Kindergarten mom moment... no tears were shed because I feared that if I did cry he would just ask "Why?"
I am grateful that he is excited and hope that it lasts!!!
Happy Birthday Daddy!
Happy Birthday to our wonderful daddy! We are lucky you are our dad and hope you have a great day!
And She's Off...
I must admit that my heart sunk this morning as I waved goodbye to Kylee. I can't believe that she is in 2nd grade! I cried when she started Kindergarten and I almost lost it in the parking lot as I left the school today. She woke up at 4:30 this morning because she was too excited to sleep. The outfit has been on her bed since yesterday afternoon and for the first time in a long time she requested sleep earlier than normal. There have been days this summer that I have wished school would start so I could have MY space and MY time. This morning I realized that I wish I could just keep my kids in bubble for a bit longer. I went to pay her lunch money and realized that I had no checkbook so I walked back to her class to give her enough money for today's lunch...there she sat in her desk...ready to learn with her papers and school supplies nicely lined up in front of her. That's my Kylee. I love her and can't wait for the time to fly so I can hear all about her first day! 
Happy #7 Kylee!
Kylee turns 7 today...amazing that 7 years have flown by! We celebrated at Cowabunga Bay yesterday and the festivities will continue today with cupcakes, friends, and NO CHORES. She made sure that I was aware that you are not allowed to do chores on your Birthday...I will keep that in mind for my own birthday. We LOVE Kylee and are grateful that we have her as our oldest daughter. She is sweet, thoughtful and helpful mixed in with a little bit of sass. Her request for her birthday dinner was Texas Roadhouse...proof that Kylee likes all things bigger than she really is. We love her dearly and can't imagine life without her around. She is a great big sister, daughter, and friend! Happy Birthday Kylee Jo!
7 hours 45 minutes
Yup, that is right. I got 7 hours and 45 minutes of sleep last night. I think I could run a marathon...well, maybe not but it felt good anyways!
