Mommy thinks.....

...that blog posts will now become much more frequent. The kids are back to school and Mommy is back to work. This means back to a routine (well or something resembling one) and less chaos. To catch you up, here are a few pictures from the boredom that ensued the week before school started. Followed by first day of school pictures of course! 

Jace did not want a back to school haircut. He wants to grow his hair long enough to slick over like Peter Parker (for those of you who don't live with a small boy, this is Spiderman). In the end, the salon had red gel that Mommy bribed him with. Haircut = spidey colored locks!

This. This is difficult to explain. They spent about 15 minutes sliding down the (carpeted) stairs on their bellies. It was all fun and games until the rug burns started popping up. You have never seen more dramatic children in your life. Trust Mommy on this one. Note they each have multiple bandaids on their tummy.

The part of summer (ok one of the parts) that Mommy will miss the most. Sleeping in! Lexa typically slept until 9 or so and Jace...well Jace would sleep until noon if you let him. They are wonderful.

Lexa bean at her finest.

First day of 1st grade! 8/14/2013

Jace and one of his best friends Jack before their first day.

More pictures for the second day of 1st grade...because this time his sister joined the fun!

1st grade and 3-year old preschool. 8/15/2013

Getting ready to go in. Mommy must admit that she was nervous (Mommy not Lexa). Lexa had told her she didn't want to make friends because she already had one. And obviously 1 friend is sufficient for a 3-year old. However, Lexa ended up doing great. She went in and started playing with no tears and from the sounds of it, even acknowledged a few of her classmates. Success!

That is all for now. Mommy promises to stay more up to date now that she is back to work. Soccer and dance coming soon!
