First day of school 2014

Leave a reply

We woke up super early to make bacon and pancakes and blast Pandora on the TV to wake up our not morning people kids. So they had a dance party while we got breakfast cooked up.

IMG_7451 IMG_7452After they danced themselves awake they got dressed and sat down to eat a hot breakfast. I am not a morning person at all. So this was pretty much a one time deal. Cereal and milk, or a granola bar to go are our usual school breakfast options. Sometimes on Fridays they get a poptart….. And they mostly help themselves. This is why I bulk batch pancakes and muffins. They freeze well and it's just 30 seconds in the microwave and then they get a hot breakfast.   IMG_7453 IMG_7472Jon telecommutes on Thursdays, and since the first day of school was a Thursday he was able to go with us. IMG_7474Kaylee got dropped off at the play gound and was not really into goodbyes this year. SO this last minute adjustment of her backpack was all I got. 🙁 IMG_7475She paused long enough to get a fast picture with Jon and then was off in the blink of an eye. It was a happy/sad moment for us. IMG_7476We got a few more/better shots with Regan. He was JUST as excited as Kaylee. IMG_7477 IMG_7479 IMG_7482We only managed one quick picture in the class room before he was off exploring. IMG_7732The next day I realized I didn't get pictures of their backpacks. Regan got TNMNT and loves it. Click and buy. Delivered to our door. I may be addicted to online shopping…. His backpack was SO so so easy. 20 minutes of snuggle time while looking online with him for his bag. Perfect. IMG_7743Kaylee was VERY specific on what she wanted. Pink. With a pink Wonder Woman, and silver stars. WHAT?! When I told her I didn't think they made pink WW backpacks she assured me that that was fine since she knew I could just make one for her. WHAT!?!?!

I spent 5 hours hunting down a pink WW patch that was big enough. FIVE HOURS! She has not a clue how much I love her. I bought a plain pink backpack and silver star patches and sewed them on the bag. She was beyond thrilled and very grateful. I really love how unique it is. Just like Kaylee. IMG_7745

The time Jon was a fool

Jon has decided to build a quadcoppter from scratch. It's going well. I think….

 He got it all put together and needed to make sure the propeller motors were all spinning at the same time/direction. He did NOT take the props off.

He probably should have gone and got stitches. Instead he came and got me to butterfly him up. I had to smoosh his flesh back together. EWWW!  I repeatedly called him a fool. PROPS OFF! Especially when they are carbon fiber death blades.

He has manly scars now. He shows them to little and tells the story when they ask why they are NOT allowed to fly the quad. Death blades.

PSMAPP done!

Tonight we wrapped up our ten week course for our foster license. SOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo happy to be done with that beast. Good grief. If you have done it then you know. IF you have done it I give you high fives and hugs for enduring to the end.

That is not to say that the course wasn't full of good and needful things. It was. But it was agony for my introvert self. Plus I felt like each Tuesday night the three hour class could have been easily done in an hour and a half.

BUT you have to have so many hours of training so… But is it done, and we learned a TON. Which I love. Because learning is awesome.

IMG_5383  We were THRILLED to get this piece of paper. I kinda felt like in needed a cap and gown thing happening, but it's fine. 😉

IMG_5391Also on the way to class I discovered my first grey hair. I'm not gonna lie. I was surpassingly excited about it. So much so that I insisted on Jon taking a picture. He was rolling his eyes at his crazy wife, but took pictures anyway. He's cool like that, and loves me despite my strangeness.

IMG_5390And a close up of the lone grey. Jon says, "PSMAPP gave you grey hairs!" I tell you what he is probably right.

HUMUNGO thanks a million to Dwayne, Shannon, Jodi, and Scott for taking turns taking GREAT care of our children while we PSMAPPed!
