School Days

Ok so how is this for efficient blogging, 2 posts in 2 days.  Well here is some of the cuteness from the first day of school.  All 4 kiddos are in 4 different schools.  My father in law joked that he was going to get me the -Mom's taxi -license plate for the front of my car.."Don't you dare!!!" ... C started his sophomore year last week and he couldn't be more handsome... I miss him during the day,  he's my bud & my very own personal trainer, (he loves making me lift weights at the gym, and I try to weinnie (sp?) my way out of it, but it was fun all summer to have a workout buddy... I would homeschool him if he wasn't already 10 times smarter than me...  & he loves his little sis (Nice bed head, Mina)!  Our little girl also started Kindergarten last week, along with her entourage... she had 7 of us walking her in with video cameras and all.  Poor kid, can you tell she is like, "Alright guys, you can leave now, I have work to do and y'all are making a scence"  She got right down to business and she has been loving it..Check out her boots, I had figured she would have grown out of them over a totally flip-flop wearin' summer, but no,  her boots live on, she has kicked the whole fronts off the things, but they remain her favorite shoes ever.  I'm gonna have to have them bronzed or something.  She has grown up dramatically in the last week, amazing!  And today was the day for the little guys.  J.C. Started his last year of preschool today,  big stuff,  he has the same awesome teachers as his big sister did last year, so I am thrilled.  He will do great.  He will love having his own thing and not having Mina following him around to grab at whatever it is that he is holding at any given moment.   And last but not least Mina,,, it was actually her open house day the day the Mommies get to go and hang with the kids.  She had no use for me, really... Can you tell,  look at her photo,  It's like, "Let me in this place, NOW"  She is little miss social butterfly & loves to check out new  places and new faces.  She is not one for just hangin' low, for sure.  I hadn't planned on putting her in a preschool class, but she is going to LOVE it.. 2 days a week, for about 3 hours.   She is going full force these days, she is about 21 months old and is hitting the, do I dare say, "terrible two's" a bit early... She is a little octopus, she can get into more things than is possible with just 2 hands.... You gotta love this last photo of her in time out, just below her newest masterpiece!!! Oh, the joy of it all!!! Never a dull moment, and we wouldn't want it any other way!
