1st Day of School!

I am one of those nerdy mom's who just isn't quite ever ready for summer to be over. I know most of you are thinking it's because of my sleep habits and the fact that I hate homework & making lunches...but that is only a small percentage...:-) I really just love having my kids home. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a break but I love having them home with me & thinking of fun places to go or things to do at home. I feel bad for Tyson because he is all by himself...although i think he enjoys very much that he can play with all of Nate's "forbidden" toys when Nate is at school, he just loves having him home and having someone to play with that I feel bad when he is all by himself.

Nate is such a night owl...he was awake passed 12:30 in the morning last night. This has been going on for a while now and I'm not quite sure what to do about it because you can't force a kid to fall asleep! If it was every once and a while I could give him something to help him sleep but every night?! I seriously hope he grows out of it. Regardless of the time he falls asleep he still gets up just fine for school...so there he was up a t 7:45 this morning bright eyed and bushy tailed! I couldn't believe it. I am hoping with getting him up earlier he will not stay up so late....one can only hope right?!

We went to see Nate at lunch today (I am so grateful that he still even let's me come!). After lunch the kids went out for recess...I kid you not....5 minutes later the teacher was blowing her whistle for the kids to line up. I could not believe it! Those poor kids looked so confused! It was bad enough they went to 10 minute recess last year but now 5? I really hope this was just for today because those kids need time to run around! Nate so far is not too happy with being in 4th grade. We had an absoultely amazing teacher last year and I don't know that he will ever get a teacher that good again. Hopefully he will get used to this teacher though. I'm crossing my fingers for a good school year with little homework! LOL! One can hope right?
