First week of school

We've all survived the first week back at school. I am exhausted and ready for a vacation again already, but my classes are good and I think it'll be a good year. Molly loves kindergarten so far and is happy to be back with all of her preschool friends. She summed up her first day as "great." When I was driving her to Alice's house after her first day, she told me that she didn't need me to walk her in because she's a big girl and kindergarteners don't need their Mom's help.

Summer's almost over!

We are starting to think about the school year starting again soon and looking at how much has happened this summer. Our back porch is finished, with shingles on the roof and everything. We have a lawn with actual grass. Our old trailer house finally got moved off of our property and it is SO much nicer!! Molly has lost two teeth and one of her "grown-up teeth" is already coming in. She seemed to be more excited about the tooth fairy leaving fairy dust in her room, than getting money. Austin turned two and we converted his crib to a toddler bed so that he won't hurt himself escaping over the side. He's not very into potty training and I really was hoping he'd be done with diapers by the time school started again. It's not going to happen!! Steve finished his first week of POST in Carson City. Only 9 more weeks to go, but who's counting?
