Back to ScHoOL & AnnA

I can't believe the kids are already back in school. And, they're in school ALL day long. I kind of have mixed feelings about it. Part of me thinks how nice it is to be able to spend more quality time with Anna and do more things that I like and part of me really misses having my children home. They're my little buddies! So, as soon as they come home from school, I'm all theirs. We have a snack and do our 20 minutes of reading and whatever homework they may have and then we just play! And I really LOVE taking and picking up my kids from school. It makes me happy to do that, especially when I pick them up and they have the biggest smiles on their faces when they see me. That melts my heart! They mean the world to me.


So, this is the kids on their first day of school. They actually started last week, but I'm a slacker at blogging. Anyways, they were so excited and Anna of course had to be in the picture. We didn't want to leave her out!



Chase, our BIG 2nd grader!



Tyler, Our SWEET boy who's in 1st grade!



Gracie, Our little DIVA who's in 1st grade!


Ty and Gracie have different teachers this year and I think it will be good for them to have a little separation from each other and have their own friends.


My SwEeT ANNA!
I took these pictures of her with my phone, so they're not the best quality, but they're still cute of her! I am so grateful to have her in my life, especially since the kids are gone all day. She makes me so happy and I think I'd have a much harder time during the day if she wasn't here to keep me company.


Hmm...



Mom, can we please be done taking pictures?


I'll be good. I promise!!


OK, one more smile!


Uh, okay mom. Really, can I just go play?!!


Oooh, I just LOVE her!!!

Your kids are so darling! That is so fun that they get to go to school together. And how fun for you to have Anna all to yourself! She is beautiful! I bet that's wierd to go from 4 kids to 1. But I love how you're all theirs when they get home. I need to be better at that. You are such a wonderful mother.
And we still need to get together for a sister-in-law's sister in law day! :)

Your kids are so cute! They are all growing so fast! I love Gracie's pose- she is such a diva and I love it! Jaina always talks about her and how she let her put makeup on and Hunter absolutely loves Chase and Tyler.
Have fun with that cute Anna!

Janese...you are so good. Reading this makes me so happy and makes me more motivated to do that for my kids. Just be all theirs after they get home. Cause really just look at those kids, they are growing up so fast! I love the pictures of your cute Anna. It's fun having that one on one time!
Thanks so much for your comments! I think you are so great and it is way fun getting to see you when there is somthing at Mandi's...but I think we're getting cheated. We should do that more.
