Lucas started 3 year old preschool yesterday. He goes three days a week. He’s been asking all summer when it was time to go back to school. Last week at “Meet the Teacher,” he wanted me to drop him off and leave him there. I am so proud of my little guy who loves life and learning! I think this will be a great experience for him.

Caroline started Mother’s Day Out at the same place. She’s in the “busy bee” room and goes two days a week. She marched in like she owned the place, clutching her lunch box and sporting her adorably cheesy grin. It didn’t take long before her temper tantrums started. What can I say? The girl knows what she wants and gets some serious attitude when she doesn’t get it. I think this will be a great experience for her.

I stopped by Panera and ate a bagel in complete silence. I leisurely sipped on my tea and checked Facebook in peace. I drove over to Target and wandered up and down aisles in complete solitude. I headed home, cleaned the house, did laundry, and sat for 30 minutes completely uninterrupted! When I picked the kids up from school, I was refreshed and so happy to see them. I think this will be a great experience for me.

Life happens when the kids go back to school!
