Back to School

And another summer comes to an end. We had a great time enjoying a new baby, seeing family, camping, playing outside, making snow cones and vacationing. Dylan said he wasn't ready for school to start as summer ended, but now that he is knee deep back in school he is so excited to be there and glad it is back in session. He loves his new teacher, Mrs. Taylor, and thinks she is the best 2nd grade teacher around. Lincoln also started school last week, but at home with me and he's not quite sure why he doesn't get to go with his big brother on the bus, or sit in a classroom. All in good time my son! 

The first three pictures are from the welcome back night, the day before school actually began. Dylan got to see his classroom, bring his back pack, set up his desk how he wanted it, and meet his teacher. Lincoln also decided that he would bring his back pack and we almost as excited as Dylan was. I'm not sure how to break it to him...

They both wanted to wear nice shirts.

 And finally the first day of school. The boys were up early, I mean Dylan was ready to go by 6:45am. Dylan had packed his lunch the night before (and I snuck in a little joke and note because I'm a big sappy) and we had decided what the boys wanted for breakfast the day before too. Toaster waffles and cantaloupe. Shane had to work early that day so I was on my own getting everyone up, fed and there on time. Luckily everything worked out and we got plenty of pictures too. Thankfully Dylan likes to ride the bus and the stop is right in front of our house so it is quite convenient with the other little ones. 
Yay for school! The boys colored their own sheets, notice Linc's is upside down :)

Poor Mommy, leaving a kid on the first day is still a little hard. I took a picture of his classroom window from the outside. Luckily I have two other ones at home to keep me busy.

    I'm not just being biased here but your kids are adorable and you are a great writer. I think you should work on a book with ideas on motherhood, keeping kids entertained and educated, food prep, money saving tips...you are so clever and funny.

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Soaking it all In

By
Because I have a bad habit of zoning out when the tv is on, I've turned it off and told myself it can't come on until a rerun of a show I wanted to see comes on at 11. I can't stay up late so I'm trying to watch shows that will rerun, which is most of them outside of the basic cable channels. So obviously instead of working on my homework about Intercultural Crossings in Indian Music while Lincoln is taking a nap, I'm on here updating you on the trivial matters of my day. A friend told me an interesting revelation the other day. "When you have a child that is an infant you are the most physically exhausted. When you have a child that is just entering school aged you are the most mentally exhausted. When you have a teenager you are the most emotionally exhausted." So the way I see it, since I have one in each category I'm basically the most exhausted I'm going to get and since I'm seeming to do ok, it's only going to get easier from here. Y...

New Moves

By
So I officially started feeling the baby moving around this week, Tuesday to be exact, and now I feel dancing all the time. It's pretty weird because it has been so long since I've housed a fetus and I know no one else can feel it from the outside, but it's really real. The picture I took on the left shows me holding a photo of a 17week baby to scale. It's hard to imagine something that big is fitting inside of me already :) We had the "Mom" talk today inside the Dollar Store. Danielle asked me if it was ok if she could call me Mom. She says I treat her the way a mom should treat her daughter and that made me so proud. I am so glad that even though we have our daily and weekly ups and downs that our family unit is really coming together.
