Ready or not here we come.....

It is September and school is in full swing!!  We have truly enjoyed this summer, and even though it is time for school I am sure we still have one more swimming or fishing trip left in us!!  In August, I could not seem to get myself ready and I think it is because I have enjoyed watching the boys grow & mature right before my very eyes!  Each day they have embarked upon a new adventure and I hope this school year will be a fun adventure for both of them!!

This year both of the boys are going to school.  Carson will be in the first grade and Mason will be in 3K. It is so very hard for me to believe how fast they have grown!!  As each day goes by, I try to write down something they have said or done.  As we began to get ready for the big first day, I overheard this....

Carson: "hey, buddy..I want you to know that you are going to have a fun day at school. You might get a little sad or nervous, but just know I am right down the hall. 
Mason: okay?
Carson:  Ya see, you will have centers, toys and the playground.  And all I will have is work-Reading & Math. It is harder to be in the first grade, so you enjoy your day and know that momma will be there to get us in the afternoon."
Mason: Sounds good to me!

As I hugged and loved on both of them, I thought to myself "Lord, please let me get through this day."  I know that may seem silly, and maybe it is. But, I ultimately have to trust that they will be more than just educated in the hands of the individuals at this precious little school.  I truly want them to have some fun while learning some good "stuff" along the way.  And so, I move into this chapter of our lives...even if it is the chapter with a little more homework :)
