We have survived the first two weeks of school! Only 34 more to go. Kids are both enjoying school but I'm not liking this year. I started crying the Sunday before school started and haven't seemed to stop yet. I don't like my kids getting older. I think it all stems from the Sunday that we did the bible class promotion and I realized that I don't have anybody in the preschool hall anymore. And now Andrew has to wear a uniform everyday so he looks all grown up. Did I mention that I'm not liking this year? At least I have a sympathetic ear. Our PE teacher at school has a girl in Alyssa's class and a boy in Andrew's and she is in the exact same emotional wreckage boat that I am. We both went around the first week of school with red eyes.

Our family did get to have fun this weekend though. A couple from church asked us to go with them on their boat on Saturday. Weather was great and we even got the kids to ride in the innertube behind the boat. I would have done it too, you know, but I forgot to wear my swimming suit. Blake rode the daredevil innertube ride and ended up getting flipped out. I wish I had captured it with my camera since he did about 3 cartwheels over the water before he finally landed. The kids just about fell over laughing. I laughed, was concerned for about 3 seconds until I saw him pop up in the water, then kept laughing. Though he realized today that he isn't 20 anymore and is a little sore.
