First Day of School

There is NOTHING quite like starting your morning by hauling all your kiddo's to the car and sidestepping the badger sized beetle to get in your car only to end up crunching your flip flop right on top of his smunchy-gooey buddy a second later.  Ack! I'm going to have the eeby-jeeby's all day.

Oh, you wanna hear about the first day of school for Sydney's first grade, yes?  I know it will suprise everyone, but I don't have pictures of it--yet.  ***SCHOCKFACE****

But I will get pictures when she comes home and her hair is a mess and her face and dress are covered in her school lunch.  That should be a great shot!  She's stinking cute no matter what, I think anyway, and was way excited to start first grade today. She's going to do awesome.  Skye started last week, but I wasn't allowed to make a big deal because "I hate school, they have too many rules."  Hmmm, I think we will have to come up with more rules at our house because Skye claims we only have "like five". 

 In other news I found out today that we barely missed out on a rockin' name for Zoe. (By the way readers. . . we also have a baby named Zoe, ha!).

Jack: Mom, I'm glad I named her Zoe because it's a cute name.

Me: Yeah, me too bud, good choice.

Jack: I know, I almost named her Concentrate, but decided to with Zoe.

Wow, had I known about the other option, that would have made my naming experience much, much harder.  Unfortunately, the papers are signed and she will forever be named Zoe.  I hope she forgives us later for passing up a gem, but if not I can just tell her it was all Jack's fault.
