First Day of School

Kendall's first day of K4 was last Wednesday. She has been anxiously awaiting this day all summer. This will be her fifth and last year (sniff sniff)  in our church weekday program.  She's a mighty big fish in a little pond!

Brielle started her first day of school EVER the next day.  She's beginning our Mother's Morning Out program twice a week.  She'll learn soon what Sissy already knows...school is a fun place to be!  She'll also figure out eventually that Mommy is always in the halls working! But for now I need to stay out of sight and hopefully out of mind!

Kendall Carpool Conversations {vol. 1}

So I'm going to have to start a sequel to Kendall Conversations specifically for the morning carpool line.  So far she's three for two.  Yes, she's had three quoatables in two carpool lines.



I preface the first with the fact that we have THE BEST pre-kindergarten program.  And I'm not partial just because it's our church and I direct the MMO.  It's really that good.  Kendall is beginning her fifth (and last - sniff sniff) year so she's a big ole fish and a little bitty pond.  She has grown so much socially, academically and spiritually these past few years.  Well apparently she loves school because...

Kendall on the first day of school thus a long carpool line:  Mom! WHY is this line taking SO LONG?!

Mommy: Baby, for some friends this is their first time to be in carpool and come to school so they might be a little nervous.  It'll take them longer to get out of the car.

Kendall (matter of fact):  Well, the line will be faster tomorrow because they'll learn today that school is a fun place to be.

Just when Mommy couldn't listen to the same worship CD for the millionth time and was ready to turn it off...

Kendall: Mommy, some times I sing in my head.  You can't hear me but God can.

TURN IT UP!!

So Mommy posts her remark to fb while inching through the line...

Kendall upon seeing Mommy on her phone:  Mom!  That's against the law!!

The Rest of the Summer in Pics {part 1}

Recently I was scrolling through my camera roll on my ~ahem~ NEW iphone and I became sentimental of this past summer.  I didn't realize how special these random pictures were until I realized they told the story of our summer.  Never again will I have a four-year-old and a semi-baby (I told you I became sentimental) so I'll cherish these pictures of our crazy life...
