First Days of School!

Jacob started preschool at Learning Dynamics Preschool. He will be going 3 days a week for a little over 2 hours. He was so excited to be big like all his brothers. All the other kids were crying holding on to their moms. He ran past them all in to the room saying "Bye Mom". I asked if he would give me a hug. He ran back gave me a hug and a kiss and then ran back into the room with another "Bye Mom". No tears for me. I loved it though he is so cute. I will miss him. We are really close and he is one of my favorite people to be around.

How cute is this baby. It's not his first day of school but I cant resist him!
Jordy started Kindergarten. He is thrilled to be riding the bus with his brothers. He is a smart little boy. He is the oldest in his class. He is already six and he is a very large six year old. When he lines up for school he stands at least a head taller then everyone else. I promise that there was a few little girls that came up to his elbows. It's really funny. He is very well behaved in a structured setting. This is a relief to me. He likes to have a lot of attention at home...when there is competition around, like other brothers. Which as you can imagine with 5 to 9 boys running around is usually all the time:)
This makes 4 in school and 1 at home. I really only get like 1 hour 3 times a week with just Cameron so it's not quite as glorious as it sounds. It is a light at the end of the tunnel though. Not that Im wishing my life away though. I do love being a mom and having them around. It's just that I have been doing it for 11 years now and an afternoon shopping with no kids sounds like heaven right about now:)

The boys are so cute!! It is a little sad to see them start preschool. =( Though with having Marshall it doesn't seem like much down time. You are super woman mommy for going 11 years. =)
