Tyler and I dropped both boys off at school today, so I am filled with a mix of emotions. Mostly my heart is sad that my boys are growing up so fast and heading off to spend so much time with people other than Tyler and myself. I only cried once though!! On the other hand, I have been craving some quiet. Having the boys home 24/7 can get crazy and loud. I try not to compare, but I have friends who homeschool and they work with it, become used to the craziness and noise. So then I start thinking how much I love my boys and want to be with them and that I could surly get used to it, right? But then in my mind I go through all the pros and cons Tyler and I have hashed out so many times over the last few years regarding homeschool and come back to the same conclusion – we are making the right choice for our family.
Chase is ready, but so little still in my mind. He could use the stimulation of school and he feels like it is his turn, just like his big brother. So here I sit, on my boys’ first day of school thinking “it is too quiet” and “wasn’t I just thinking how nice quiet would be!” It is exhausting being me!! As other first days of school, my post is mostly a therapy session for myself! Luckily, a friend from church invited me over for a little sewing/margarita party to pass the day with some fellowship and fun!
Tate woke up before 6:30, came out to find me and decided to do his jobs in 4 minutes!
Some highlights from this morning, oh my sweet boys…..
(things were moving so fast this AM in Tate’s class I had one chance to take one picture and Tate wasn’t ready…but at least you get to see the teacher, Ms. Riedlin!)
