Back to school

Why in the world are we starting school the first part of August?! Whatever the reason, I couldnt stop it from coming and the kids are back to school. Yesterday was their first day. Bailee is in 4th, Raden is in 1st and Lexi started pre-school today. Bailee and Raden even insisted on taking an apple for their teachers . I was worried about Raden because he had such a hard transition last year but so far everything has gone smoothly. They even only let me drive them to school the first day and wanted to ride the bus today - so I sent the bus schedule with them and made them memorize the route number! A little paranoid since Bailee was dropped off in the wrong neighborhood 2 years ago. Raden didnt even give me a kiss - although I did try to kiss him in the middle of his classroom with all the other kids around- major Mom mistake! I guess I will have to sneak it in before he goes to the bus! I really miss them - it's just Jadie and me today - the house is very quiet. HHHMMMMM- kind of nice :)
