A Student In Our Midst

Well, my little boy is now a student and although still a bit nervous he is proud of his new status. He's only been to school twice and for a shortened time so the real challenge comes on Thursday when we start full tilt with the schedule and the bus. We have decided that we will drive him to school and he will take the bus home. He would be on the bus for 45 minutes in the morning and we think that is just too long for a 5 year old. On the way home most of the class is on his bus and he is home in less than a half hour so that should be a better situation and it will give him the bus experience. It is so neat to hear his stories and explanations! We've had some beautiful weather and by some miracle the parks have kept the spray pads open so the boys and I have been there 2 days in a row and will probably return today. But first I better do some laundry and chores cuz I have hardly been home at all in several days! Tonight Carson has his first music class and tomorrow night there is a family BBQ at the school. Carson isn't the only one making new friends! Things at Kia are going well but are very challenging. Chris is non stop and welcomes mowing the lawn because even though it's still "work" it allows him to focus on something else for a few hours. I really hope things start to settle down soon before he burns out but I don't see an end in sight! Anyways I better get back to the September sun before the September snow falls!
