Today is the boys' first day of school.
It's a big year for us.
Luke, 4th grade, has switched schools this year. He's a Catholic school boy now!
He's excited. I'm nervous. I hope he makes at least one good friend today. I'm sure he will.
Josh Oliver is in all day Kindergarten.
He was definitely ready for it! He already knows a handful of kids that are in his class and Henry's been giving him the ins and outs of going to school! He's most excited that he no longer has to go shopping with me. I'm pretty excited about that myself!
Henry is the only one who started today knowing what to expect.
I absolutely love his teacher. She's going to do great with him--naughtiness and all!

It's going to be strange being home by myself--ALL DAY!
I prefer summer days when all my boys are home, but I'm definitely excited about this new schedule!
I actually don't think it's going to be that much different from last school year.
Josh was plenty happy to watch T.V. or play on the computer while I got my stuff done around the house or just vegged out myself, but the difference is I'm no longer "grounded"!
Most days I had a terrible time convincing Josh to run errands with me--even fun ones--so I'd have to run them while he was at school. Now that I'm solo, I can leave whenever I want!
I spent my morning running errands and slowly wandering around the stores. It was such a luxury!
Even with all my new freedom, I have some concerns.
I now have three boys worth of uniforms to keep organized and clean. I had a really good system with Henry last year, so hopefully it will work out just as smoothly this year!
My other big concern is adding a third boy to the homework mix. I work most evenings, so it's mostly Ben's thing to work out. I feel bad for him, but he'll manage.
It's going to be a great year!
I just pray everything goes well for them today--especially Lucas!
