Rainy Day Back to School.

(obligatory first day of school photo on the porch)
Today was back to school for Robert & Ryan (2nd & 3rd grade). Even though it was raining, I couldn't stand it and I did end up wrapping my camera up and going to the bus stop after they left. However, once I got back to the house, I realized I didn't have the flashcard in my camera, so I didn't get any pictures of them and our little friend, Sara. She is in first grade this year and is very excited about going every day -- all day. She had a brand new pink flowered rain coat on and a sweet new pink/green camouflage backpack. Picture it, even if I don't have pictures!

Once again, I pray that they do their best and try to make the best choices they can in their school work and friends. I love them so much. Part of me is glad to have just one child at home, I should be able to get more done around here while the boys are at school and get busy with a regular schedule/routine again. The other part of me...I'll miss them and...

the way they keep their sister busy and entertained! I've been putting together some snapshots to send to Grandma Glover for her birthday and my dining room looks like a paper/scrapbooking explosion! Kelsey is right in the midst of it all gluing and stamping.

This is one of her creations. Not bad. She loves ribbon and anything sparkly. I have to hide some of my scrapbooking stash from her.
They just called me from work and they are swamped and want me to work this afternoon. So much for my quiet day off!
