The second day of school...


I'm posting this even though I didn't get a chance to finish what I was going to write. Can you guess why? LOL Anyway, I'm hoping to get back to it sometime soon, but I've caught a bit of a cold and don't feel like doing much of anything that's not absolutely neccessary. So here's my partial post...
>08.28.08
I was going to try to post yesterday. As it was the first day of school for Nile and Noah. But, I never got around to it. I ended up doing some of the housework that gets put off (with four active boys in the house) and just never sat at the computer long enough to write. So, today is the second day of school for Nile and Noah, James and Jonah are napping, and here's how it's been going...
We kinda prepped them last week that school would be starting. And it was really nice when their teacher came by to say "Hi!" and refamiliarize them with her. <--- does that sentence make sense. Anyway, she came by and brought some "homework" for them to color and hang on the wall when school started. So, yesterday, I got up early...actually, James and Jonah got me up early...around 4am. So, I just headed to the kitchen and started making the boys lunches for school. And when I got Nile and Noah up at 7am I thought for sure it would be plenty of time. NOT!!! So I altered their schedule this morning and got them up at 6:45am and things were better. Next week, it will probably have to be 6:30 cause we were still 5 min. late this morning. I hate being late. Anyway, after waking them up yesterday, they were kinda whiney and kept insisting they didn't want to go to school. We kept reminding them that their friend Savannah was going to be there and she would be excited to see them. And they have a brand new classroom and teacher this year. So after a little convincing, they had breakfast and we put their uniforms on and we headed out the door. (There's actually alot more little stuff that goes on with the morning routine, but I don't have time for all that right now. Sorry. I know how important those little details are to you all. :op ) So, we got to school and Nile was ready to go right away. I had to convince Noah to go though. I finally got him out of the truck by telling him it was against the law to leave a 4yr old in the vehicle by themself and I could get a ticket...or worse! Well, we wheeled up the new ramp headed toward the new classroom and Noah stopped half way up. So, Nile and I continued and when Savannah saw Nile she screamed "Nile!" then said, "Nile, where's Noah?" So I headed back towards Noah and told him Savannah was waiting for him. He smiled and headed up the ramp when he heard her yell out the door, "Nooooooaaaaahhhhh! Where are you?" LOL How cute is that?! Noah started running up the ramp and right into the room. So I stuck around a while as they got settled and proceeded to tell the teacher (when she asked about rules at home) that one of mommy's rules was to not put things on the baby's heads. LOL I knew they'd be alright. The day was going pretty good and I got alot of things done around the house. So I had planned on heading over to Kohl's to see if I could find some more uniform shirts for the boys. We ordered some online that had the school logo on them from a uniform company that was advised in the new school handouts. Well, we only received two of them, the other were on backorder. So when I dropped the boys off at school and saw that they were the only one's in the full uniform with (logo) shirts, I decided to cancel the rest of the order and just go get some plain ole blue polos for them to wear. That's what the other kids were wearing so... I was going to head to Kohl's and look for some plain blue polos.
