First Day of School! First Day of School!

Daniel's first day of second grade was last week.  

He's obviously too cool to need a first day of school picture. 

 

And Benjamin started kindergarten this past week.  So, now I have 2 and a half hours all to myself each day (except Wednesday, which is shorter).  Crazy!  I'm not old enough to be sending my "baby" off to school every day.  Benjamin loves getting his picture taken.  He lives to entertain. 

This is the neighborhood party we went to after kindergarten.

Everyone keeps asking me what I do with all of that extra time.  The first day, I spent it crying.  No, I really cried for about 5 minutes, and then I had a bunch of other stuff I had to do at home. I also spent some time this week Visiting Teaching without the kids.  I'm signed up to help out in both Daniel and Benjamin's classes, so that will take up some of the time.  I also have a goal of catching up on my scrapbooking.  Besides all of that, I just look forward to going grocery shopping alone.
