Off to Fourth Grade (I am soooo old)
Off to First Grade(Her typical non-smile)
Is it wrong that I am happy they are gone? Jennifer says she misses her son while he's at school. Does it make me a bad mom that I don't miss mine? I know if they didn't like school I would feel more worry for them. But they love school, love being with other children. Here at home they are bored, they fight, they get into trouble. During the school year I hardly have to scold them when they are at home. Usually only on long weekends and holidays. I needed them to be gone 8 hours a day, I need a break from the constant fighting which has come to a head this past week. It has been almost unbearable the last week and a half of them being home. Sophia is sad they are gone and I am not sure why. They make her cry practically every day, but she loves them and misses them. Or maybe it's just that she is jealous. She is already begging to go to school and we have another three years to wait. If I am lucky we can get her into a private school in 2 years, since you know she misses the "have to be 5 by Aug 31" by only 8 days. And she is so smart and so bright, she will so be ready to go in 2 years. I am going to try to do everything in my power to get her in school in 2010.
Now I am going to bask in the quiet. :)

They are so cute!! And no, you are not a bad mom for not missing them. I always enjoy the little bit of peace I get when Emma goes out with Dad or her grandparents.
Jacki,
Thanks! I think they looked cute too, but Aidan's dress was a little big. But I noticed too late, I tried to exchange it Sunday but the Gymboree at the mall was all out of size 5 and I didn't have time to go to other stores. Maybe it will shrink up in the wash.
Uh un!! Not fair!! I have another MONTH of all the kids at home and I only get to get rid of 1/3 of my annoying brood... while you got rid of 1/2 of yours!! ;) lol
They are so pretty in their dresses... even if Aiden doesn't want to smile! :) They are just beautiful!!!
And if Sophia is missing them I can always mail you Brooke & Lauren, although not the same as Lilly and Aiden it would be two girls that she could play with and that would possibly make her cry... I'm just sayin'... let me know... I can even send them priority or over night. lol ;)
I only miss Trevor b/c he doesn't love school... and honestly I'm sure I'm going to miss him a whole lot less this year b/c he is older and it is mandatory... last yr I felt guilty b/c he was ONLY 4 and all this other shit I would babble on about... I felt like I was wasting his childhood by making him sit in ONE class room all day long... BUT now he will have to go... and also he will get to to the the cafeteria, the gym, the library, art and music... wow!! :) I really think that he will LOVE school this year... at least that i what I'm striving towards!! :)
You are not in any way a bad mom!! :) I am counting down the days till all three of them are there... and then that will make me a bad mom, b/c the girls will be ONLY 4 (like my thing with Trevor) BUT they will go all week... every. single. day for the entire day!! yay!! ONE year... that is all I have... well ONE year and one month and the girls and Trevor will all be in school FULL time... yay!! Whatever will I do??? Besides the happy dance!! lol
Here they just intergraded a full time pre-school w/ our public school district so they will go when they are four!! yay!!
xoxoxo enjoy your quiet!!
Jenn,
That is just not fair! Rubbing my nose in the fact that you will be rid of all your children in one short year! I have 4-5 years left before they are all in school. Delilah has the same problem as Sophia, except she misses the deadline by only 2 freaking days.
I think I remember feeling a little bad when Aidan was in pre-school and not having that much fun. She liked it most days, but some she would cry and cry and I would feel bad. The bad thing was she only went Mon-Thurs and only from 12-3pm. That's why I was extremely worried about how she would do with Kindergarten. Turns out I worried for nothing, she loves school now. Hopefully Trevor will be the same way.
I think I should just mail Sophia to you, sounds like a better idea to me. :P Oh, my kids got out in May I think yours didn't get out until June. That's why mine go back so early. It was like that for Lilly when we lived in MA. I didn't like it much. Probably because I grew up here and with the schedule they are on.
You are lucky about the pre-school too. The only reason Aidan got to go is because we barely squeaked in under the low-income line that was one of the requirements for kids to go. They had to be born with a handicap, have parents who were under 21 when they were born, or have income under a certain amount. So I know we won't qualify when Sophia is 4, sucks. I will have to pay for it, if I want her to go.
Oh my Gawd that is scary! I just figured out that I will have had at least one child at home consistantly for 13-14 years straight when Delilah starts school. ARRRHHHHH!
