First day of school

School started on the 18th of August.  Emily is a 3rd grader and Jake is a 1st grader.  I think we need to have less fun in the summer so they will want to go back to school.  I think Jake was excited about 1st grade though. When I picked up Jake outside his classroom and asked him how it was, he said, "awesome."  That was music to my ears.  After 2 days of school Jake ended up with strep throat and missed 3 days of school.  It's going to be a rough year for him!  As for me, I feel like a new woman with both kids in school all day.  I get so much time to myself I don't know what to do?  I finished my book club book Little Women, loved it, and  Devon and I get to go on dates during the day, when he's off, and we don't have to pay the babysitter gobs of money.  I have tons more patience with the kids now and enjoy spending time with them when they come home.
