The school year has started, which means no more sleeping in or staying in my pajamas until noon. We're up at 5:45am in order to get Miranda ready to catch the bus a 6:45am. She must be prepping for early morning seminary in a few years because 6:45am is pretty early to catch the bus. She started 6th grade this year and is now in the middle school. How did this happen?! I don't feel old enough to have an 11-year-old who is in middle school. Wasn't it just yesterday that I took her screaming to kindergarten? I know it is inevitable that they grow up, but it happens so fast. Before you know it she will be graduating from high school, but if I think about that too much then I'll really be in trouble. I'll just take a little more time to enjoy the time that I do have left with her because I can see how quickly it is going by.
Ryan started fourth grade this year and I'm hoping he'll like it better than he did 3rd grade. He too is growing up and looking older everyday. Olivia is still in preschool (she misses the kindergarten cut-off by a month), but is in the More at Four program at a local daycare. She is gone all day from 8:30am-2:30pm and it has been nice just having Evan at home, but I do miss her. Next year will be kindergarten and she can't wait to go.
Of course with the school year beginning, so have the after school activities. Football and cheerleading have begun, soccer will begin soon and piano, ballet and gymnastics are in full swing. This is in addition to scouts and activity days. So, when the kids get home, I turn into their chauffeur running them from one place to the other. They enjoy their activities and that is why I do it, even if it makes for a crazy life!:)
