Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to school we go ....

So the day has finally come that both of my babies, oops I mean, big boys are in honest to god real school. Of course I approach this with a bit of mixed feelings. Momentarily wishing that they were both still my cuddly babies, and part of me so proud of how mature and grown up they are.

Rowan is beginning his 2nd year of PPCD at his old school, and Aidan is starting PreK at his new school by our house. Now that they are both in they same ISD, I can begin to think about volunteering and PTA stuff. I hope that this year is a good one where they make lots of friends and develop, or I should say retain a love school and learning. I'm not worried about them making a good impression, Rowan's teachers already know and care for him, and Aidan is as always irresistible.

We took a few pictures, but they will have to wait till we have they developed since our last digital camera died on St Patty's day this year. I decided to take a 1/2 day off today so I could be with them on their 1st day of school. So now I am just waiting for 11 when they get out of school to pick them up.

Now our days will work like this ... 6.30 wake up, 6.45 wake kids, 6.50 breakfast, 7 dress, 7.15 leave the house, 7.30 drop Aidan off, 7.45 drop Rowan off, by sometime before 9 Mamma will drop me off. Then 10.45 pick up Aidan, 11 pick up Rowan, go home eat lunch, 4 leave to pick me up at work, 5 pick me up, 6.30 start dinner, eat by 7, play till 8, 8.15 bath time, 8.30-8.45 story & bed time. That is the most routine I have had in years !
