i had the first day of school jitters for my kids, too. i wasn't sure if that made me a good mom or pathetic. either way, i'm glad i'm not the only one who had them.

I can't believe Kyle is 5 - was it really that long ago that you were here because wasn't he just a baby?
Crazy...
Hope school is going well for them!

Hey, I'm a teacher and guess what???? We get butterflies in the pit of our stomach the night before school starts and all morning just waiting to meet our students, wondering the whole time......will the kids like me, will their parents like me, will I be able to reach them all, will I be able to make a difference to each child this year......And so it goes. Your kids will be awesome this

I want to know how you do all this- blog- raise 4 kids - without hubby around for so long? You are a super woman. My two kids go back in two weeks. One is a kindergarten and one is 1st grade. I am so nervous for all the same reasons you mentioned. I haven't even bought the school supplies yet!

That sounds like something mine would say.

They started back Monday. I took the day off so I could enjoy those hours of quiet & clean house with my 5 1/2 month old. It was great! But Tuesday meant back to work :(

That first paragraph had me completely in hysterics. That's a comment to save for the 21st birthday party, for sure!!!

Wow it is great your husband is there this year to share the first day of school fun. Please thank him for serving and being a brave and wonderful part of what makes America great.

2009-08-26T16:53:33.707-05:00

Your noise makers are absolutely adorable. I could just pinch their cheeks in a grandmotherly sort of way! I'm sure you and Katie will enjoy your girl time together.
BTW-what great changes you have made in your home! Awesome!

2009-08-26T14:17:28.478-05:00

The stories of your kids are super funny. Yeah for 8 hours of non-boy time. Yeah that you and Katie get to do girly-girl stuff. Yeah that GI Joe is there to share all this with you and the kids this year. Best of luck from this school year. I can't believe he's been back 6 months - I remember your little count down on your side-bar you did last year. Enjoy them all!

2009-08-26T14:10:20.854-05:00

I am a teacher so I know all to well the first day of school worries. I thought once you graduated they would all go away but they will forever be instilled in us. I hope the boys have a wonderful first day.... it usually is the most fun!

I am so glad you decided to post this! My thoughts to a T about my first going to kindergarten this year. One of those bittersweet moments. I would say more sweet than bitter though! Love those priesthood blessings!

V...I remember well those days of worrying about my children going to school--It was a stretch for me! They'll do great and so will Katie--after all they have you for a mom! How can they go wrong?!

2009-08-26T10:55:53.040-05:00

I'm totally with you on the butterlies and the worrying. I feel it too. But... how do I get my kids signed up in your school district where they go to school for 8 hours! My kids only get 6!

2009-08-26T10:14:10.937-05:00

Oh man, I was hoping that only happened the first year you sent your first kid. That would be this year for me and Im all anxious. I bet it makes all the difference in the world having Dad home!

BTW: Im pretty sure your neighbors were glad when you moved in!

Yay for school! Have fun with Katie!!

A friend of mine has been absolutely delighted with her free time since her kids went back to school. She said she felt a twinge of sadness that last a whole 5 seconds, then she skipped to the car LOL!

Morning V!
LOL about your boys. Too cute. I was sharing your post with my daughter and she laughed as well.
Such a blessing that hubby isn't overseas this time around. It certainly does make for being a little more at ease and not being stressed out, doesn't it?
Have fun doing lots of girlie things with Katie...and don't worry if the house is clean or not. They are

2009-08-26T09:14:33.994-05:00

Awww... that is so sweet. I have one more year left before my oldest goes off to school and I think that I will too have the same worries.

2009-08-26T09:03:30.725-05:00

Isn't it funny to think that your own parents felt the same way about you, that you are feeling about your own kids?! Life is amazing and God is good:) PS- your kids are super adorable
