First Day of the Fourth Grade...
Little Man went back to school on Monday.
Can I get a Woot!Woot!, please?
… And we have open house for That Middle One on Thursday. He starts Pre-K next Monday– which may actually be a little rough on everyone involved (meaning ME) since he’s been here with me ever since the day that I brought his ten pound squalling self into this world.
Dude, it's a polo with a dragon and guitar... Everybody wins here. Everybody wins.
I’m worried that there’ll be an adjustment period.
He’s worried that he won’t get new colors.
Go figure.
… And then it’ll be just me and The Baby.
Who is easily bribed into good behaviour with a little coffee and chocolate.
Visions of shoe stores, daily jaunts to the bookstore, and General Hospital during naptime are dancing in my head, folks.
No, not like Macarena dancing.
Like on a pole in pasties and a pink g-string dancing.
And I am so saving my dollar bills, yo.
He asked who Larry Bird was... "because he makes cool shoes."

Wednesday, 20 August, 2008 at 19:47I so danced and ran around the house naked on the first day of school… It was spectacular so totally needed… On my first day of school, MrB spent the whole day in his jammies watching ESPN. Freak.

Is that a new haircut for him? It really suits him AND looks completely trendy!

Friday, 22 August, 2008 at 10:05Wow… that’s a lot of happy mommas here. Dang, did I make I mistake homeschooling my kids? Now that my son is officially kindergarden age I could just get rid of them and dance in a thong??? What to do?? I still have time… I do… But then… wait… no! I can’t. I love homeschooling. I guess I’ll have to dance in a thong, when they’re out of the house. Granted, there might be some more sagginess going on… things will be wobbling and bobbling and looking quite funny. And chances are I’ll be wearing a bra, so the wobbling and bobbling won’t hurt too much. But yay!! I’ll get to dance around the house… in… uhm… 12 years!! ;)
BTW, that is one very attractive kid. Would he care to meet my very attractive 7 year old daughter? I’ve been told she looks like a fairy princess. ;)

Saturday, 23 August, 2008 at 13:14LOL. I wish that I were confident enough to homeschool…
And, yes, I’m pretty sure that he would be thrilled to meet a fairy princess (as long as she digs ninjas, of course).

Friday, 22 August, 2008 at 13:16Dude? No messed up haircut, or is it really well hidden? I think he looks darling.
Have fun.

Saturday, 23 August, 2008 at 20:55Oh I just started working this week and had to give up my carefree days of just me and our 4-year old daughter. But I was ready to go back to work, and she’s having a blast in pre-K.
General Hospital ROCKS!
