Our big event is that school starts back up tomorrow, and this is the first time in 5 years that I will not be working at the same school as the kids.
I have a new job, which I've already started, and which I LOVE...but I won't have my eyes on the kiddos anymore. (I have to let that go...I know...)
AND, to top it all off...Grace moves over to the high school tomorrow for her first year of Junior High.
She's very excited, and I, (being the person that I am...) is nervous. Nervous about her getting to each class on time. Nervous for volleyball practice/tryouts to start this week, and nervous, well, just in general.
Evan, however, is the big man on campus this year. A sixth grader. He is thrilled.
He got the teacher he wanted, and the status of being a sixth grader, at a school, for once, without his sister.
They are growing up.
It's hard, but exciting as a parent to see it.
So, for the last night before school, they went outside with dad for some smores.
I was working on my first batch of canned pizza sauce, so I opted out this time.
When we do smores, we like them with Reese's peanut butter cups in them instead of Hershey's. They are beyond delicious!
(A hastily made fire pit in the area which will soon become my concrete patio...)
Could it get any better?
a new job?!!? must hear details. so excited for you though! wish the kids luck from us....pray that it's a great year for you all!
