Fish, gecko, ice cream and summer salts

WoW, what an amazing first week of school! I'm sure this has been the best first week for me. Why? First, I painted a wall in my room turquoise which just brightened up the whole room and got me excited about the upcoming year. Second, I spent a lot of time planning this year before school started to assure a great start. I realize I have to do that because having three kids to take care of after school is quite time consuming also. Preston loves his new class and his teacher and Austin well he's always liked school! I am going to miss him terribly next year, I mean my baby will be leaving me for the first time. Litereally, he only had to go to daycare one full year and other than that, he had been with me mostly.

Well, it is now week two and Preston is not enjoying getting up so early everyday for school. Actually had tears this morning and told me he didn't want to go to school. I think he just needs more sleep. We need to work on getting to bed just a little earlier. Preston did tell us at dinner that he has a girlfriend; however, I don't think she is aware of it..gotta love Kindergarten dating. Austin is so funny, after spending time with his best bud Parker over the weekend, he told me that he doesn't want a room full of toys anymore, he wants a room full of plants and animals. I told him he could go visit Parker. Hehe! I did take them to check out Travelers Gazebo and of course they both want fish and geckos and I don't know what else. After our visit there we headed down to the river to enjoy a yummy ice cream come from Port Cape and watch a few barges go by, it was a beautiful summer evening minus Jeff, he was helping a friend for the evening. My Chloe girl is 21 months today, crazy I know. Guess I need to start planning her 2nd birthday! She is a little gymnast already, doing summer salts last night, the boys thought this was hilarious! She would bend over almost putting her head between her legs and just flop over, it was quite funny!
School work awaits and a bed is calling my name before 11 I hope!
