First Day

So this morning started early, but it was a nice - not hectic morning.  I hope that all of the mornings can be like that, it sure would be nice.  Mom was even up and fixed the boys their cereal.  They were so sweet this morning and seemed excited to be headed back to school.  Of course this means hectic starts.....now!

The boys posed for their pictures, and of course I took a lot of them.  We took some at home and some at the school.  They even gave me a hug and a kiss in front of everyone.  So glad that some days they let me have my moments.  It is official my babies are in 4th and 1st grades.  WOW is all that I can think of to say.  They are growing by leaps and bounds, and I am defintely proud of them.

I was supposed to have a photo shoot this morning, but it was pretty wet from all of the rain so we have rescheduled for Sunday.  I am hoping that the weather works out, it is not looking good for this weekend though. 

I went by the old house and was going to set off some flea bombs, they have taken over and it is BAD.  I bought the delayed foggers, but I could not get them opened so I left them for Brandon.  I did get a few things from there, including about 50 flea bites.  They HURT!!!

I headed back to the school so that I could start to work at ASC.  I had the best time, it was great meeting the workers, and the kids.  I played a little basketball, football, legos, and even watched a few minutes of Robin Hood.  It was a great first day and again I am feeling pretty blessed.  I have to get a new hire packet from the school in the morning, hopefully I will remember.

The boys had great days.  John Michael learned a song and has rocked it all day and night!  I love it! Danny got his books and what not ready for the year.  He is super pumped because he learned that he will have no homework this week or on Fridays, other than to read!  YAY! 

After work I had to go to Liberty Park for a meeting for Scouts.  It was fun and has us ready for the popcorn sales!  So much stuff to do for scouts. 

I headed home.  I am so not used to being the last one home, it was sort of crazy.  I am sure that I will get used to it though.  I will say I am exhausted and am headed to BED! 

4th Grade

So this morning I took the last picture of Danny as a third grader at home.  He was not thrilled about having his picture taken but he also knows that his momma is very sentimental, and she loves to have her pictures!

We went to the last school mass of the year.  It was great as always, but I cannot believe that school is over.  I was pretty teary especially thinking about so much that is going on right now.  I spent a lot of time Thanking God for all of the blessings that He has given me, and also asking for some guidance.

The rising of the grades was after Mass and Danny officially became a 4th grader.  All I can say is WOW! 

He got his report card and ISB test reults.  I am proud to say that we finished with all A's and B's, and that he scored above average in almost every category.  I am so so proud of my little man.  I just cannot believe that he is growing up so fast. 

So summer has started!  I am so excited.  We are going to be super busy, but it is going to be great!

We had our first All Star game tonight, which was exciting.  It was in Morris which is seriously out there, but it is fine with me, I am just glad that he is playing and that he is having a good time.  They did not win, but it was one bad inning that cost it for them, they played great.  Mom came with me which was fun.   She worries so much about everything that all I could do was laugh. 

Brandon went by the house and they have started to hang the sheetrock, in fact they were not too far from done!  YAY!!  The picture is from our bedroom.  They also worked on the brick but they finished off the corners in the back for siding and we are supposed to have four sides brick not three. 

Partially Roofed

Today was a great day! 

The boys had a great day at school, which always makes for a happy momma.  I cannot believe that the school year is almost over.  While I am ready  for summer I cannot believe that my babies will be 1st and 4th graders.

Danny had a 6:00 game.  It was a great game, they won, which makes for a happy bunch of boys.

After the game we headed to the new house.  It was partially roofed and looked great.  It is  the first time I have seen it in the moonlight and I have to say, it is pretty!
