Here they go again on their own....

{i'm in love w/ this new template! wonder if i could find wallpaper just like it for my house??}

well...school's been in session for about a month now and i'm just getting around to posting pics. both boys seem to really like their teacher and class so far. s started off the year with a bang by winning a summer reading award. all summer his driving incentive was a giant chocolate bar. who does that remind me of?

the boy read a lot and not only got the coveted chocolate bar, but a gold medal, bible, certificate, and gift card to Books A Million, where he promptly purchased 5 Star Wars books without wavering in question of how to spend the $25. we have a slight obsession.

needless to say, we are very proud of his reading! his best gal pal E won an award, too! therefore, how else to celebrate than with more chocolate in the backyard...cupcakes from Edgar's!

i was nervous about how g would do at school. he would happily stay home w/ me everyday. he's such a young 4 and while he shows different types of independence than s did at the same age, he's still so little to me in many ways. he has a super bubbly teacher and i'm sure that has helped ease him into school life. boys don't give you much in the way of details of their day...if i'm going to get anything out of them, especially g, i have to ask him before asking s. if not, he'll just repeat to the detail everything that happened to his big brother at school!

my heart goes out the door with them each morning and many prayers are offered up for their influences, love for others and safety. this raising them to leave thing is hard! not sure the school administration would like a disheveled mom in her pajamas peeking in their classroom doors each morning, but i am so tempted!
