First day of school!!

It finally came--the day I have been dreading for months--the first day of Kindergarten!!!! We went to meet the teacher night last Thursday and met Aspen's new teacher and helped Aspen become familiar with the school-learn how to get to the restrooms, where her cubby was and stuff like that. We followed meet the teacher night with me coming home and having an emotional breakdown--it was bad, just ask Brian!! He kept saying "Ok, so what is really wrong?" And through my snotty sobs, I would respond "Nothing-just that Aspen is going to school!!" He couldn't believe that was the reason I was so upset-but yep I had a meltdown because we met the teacher and that meant it was really going to happen!!!! I know, I know I have problems :) Meet the teacher night just made Aspen even more excited--excited to leave me and go to school EVERY DAY!!!! This morning she was up early and quickly ate her breakfast, got dressed and fixed her hair. I can't even tell you how many times she asked me "When is the bus going to be here?" She is in afternoon kindergarten, so the bus comes around 11:30. So, we ate some lunch, wasted some time taking pictures, then waited for the bus. The bus was pretty late (probably because of all of the crazy mom's who didn't want to let go of their kids) we sat on the porch waiting-poor Aspen was so excited and it felt like forever for the bus to get here. It came and she jumped on stopping only long enough for me to take a picture and she was off!! AND SO WAS I!! I got Brylee and Porter in the car and we headed for the school!! see I told you I have problems!! Brian was nice enough to come with me, so I picked him up from work and we met the bus at the school and helped Aspen find her way and get her backpack hung up and made sure she found her seat! Then we left and I lost it again!!! So, Brian took me to lunch, and made sure I was ok, then headed back to work. Brylee missed having her here so much, Porter is just not as fun!!! We all met her in front of the house this afternoon when the bus dropped her off and she had a great time without me!!! So I guess we have to do it again tomorrow!

Waiting for the bus!!!

Isn't this the saddest picture you have ever seen?? She is leaving me!!!

SHE"S HOME!!!

Jenn McGee said...: Oh, I remember well the day Sam went to kindergarten! I lost it all week and she was so happy to leave and go to school. I just didn't understand. So I asked her a couple days after she strated Why do you like going to school so much? She turned right around and said becuase I'm making lots of friends my own age and I get to go outside and play everyday! So there you have it the reason my little five year old wanted to go to school. She just turned 8 and still loves school! I'm so proud of you though, I know how it feels when your oldest is so independent and doesn't need you anymore as much. We'll get through together!; September 13, 2009 at 6:32 AM

Little Children do have words given unto them many times, which confound the wise and the learned.

These are just a few of my favorite things my kids say that make me laugh, I will be adding to it often so, watch for new fun stuff!!

Porter informed me that he was a boy and Aspen and Brylee are girls, so asked how he knew that. I was a little worried about the answer, I was afraid I was going to get an anatomy lesson, instead he said "I am a boy because I have boy toys!"

Brylee asked me the other day if Jesus knew the words we were saying in our heads. And I told her yes-she said "uh oh, I better start thinking nicer things!"

In the car the other day Porter was trying to tell me something and I could not for the life of me understand him. Sometimes the girls can translate, so Iasked them what he was saying. Brylee said "I know he is saying popcorn in spanish--- PACO CORN!" That is what it sounded like, but I don't think that is how you say popcorn in spanish!!

We came in after the kids had been playing outside and Brylee was trying to tell Brian something about a rock and her nose. He came to the conclusion there was a rock WAY up her nose!!! After many-MANY tries to get it out we finally removed it. Brian gave her the "don't stick stuff up your nose" talk. And she said "I didn't stick it up there-I just fell on it and it went up there!" And Aspen tried to tell us she saw Brylee running and the rock just "jumped" up into her nose!! We apparently need to have the "honesty" speach-AGAIN!!

The other day we were in the car and Brylee farted, she very politely said "excuse me mom I burped!" I laughed and told her "no, I think you farted." She said" Oh yeah mouths burp and bums fart!"

This morning while watching Dora, Brylee was singing along. They were singing Happy Birthday to Boots-in spanish- Felize Compleanos (sp?) But, Brylee was singing "Please poopy on nose!"

Last sunday was a particularly hard one. They moved sacrement meeting to the end of church and I HATE it! Brylee was in the middle of screaming about who knows what and Brian was holding her trying to calm her down and she starts screaming "My panties are stuck in my bum!!!"

Aspen loves seeing the Temple, and while is Salt Lake we drove past the Jordan river Temple and she said "Mom, how come Jesus isn't at the Temple today?" and before I could respond she said "Oh yeah he is still in the manger!"

Brylee had diarrhea and was going to bathroom often and Aspen said "Mom, I think she has a bum headache!"
