School 2014

I started school on August 25th.  I had one week of work to accomplish before the kids started their school.  I figured it wouldn't be a problem because the first week is always the easiest and usually only introductions.  How hard is that, right?  My little buffoons were beyond ridiculous that week and resorted me enrolling them for more time in school.  I had them going 4 days a week, but only the morning session each day.  Now, they are still going 4 days a week, but 3 FULL days and 1 half day.

I'm taking 4 classes this semester.  Yes, 4!  What was I thinking?!  Let's hope this works out in the end...for now, I'll be sleep deprived and crabby.

These buffoons? Well they started school on Tuesday and I couldn't wait!  Trying to get my schoolwork done with them around...yeah, not possible!  I hope this year will be a  great one for them both this year!

They were both really excited 

And even gave some funny expressions along the way 

Of course I had to hop in one of the photos too 

They had too much fun taking pictures before we left

We made it to school and dropped Sterling off in her room first

Then walked over to drop off Xander.  He walked in great, and started playing with the "boat" that he eyed on open house night. 

As I was pulling out his snack and folder from his backpack, he was right next to me saying he don't want to go and that preschool is no fun.  I had to remind him that it's only been a minute and he can't say he don't like it yet...he needs to go at least 8 times to tell me otherwise.

His teacher did the takeoff from me as he was screaming and kicking.  

Wednesday he went full day at PDO with the teachers that he knew from last year, so I thought it would be better at drop off.  Wrong!  Even worse.  He started crying and saying he didn't want to go before we even got in the building.  He came home with a fever this day...after all morning complaining that he was freezing.  Should have known only day 2 and already sick.  But I'm going to be that jack wad mom this year, because obviously other moms or dads are bringing their twerp kids to school sick.  He didn't have a fever this morning, so yes, he went on to school although not 24 hour free of fever.  

Today...Worse yet!  As we were walking to his preschool door, he stopped, turned around and started running the opposite direction.  My goodness!  What is wrong with this child this year?  All he keeps saying is that he wants to go with me or with Sissy.  Poor boy!  He'll adjust and hopefully next week will be better.

Just for fun, I decided to take their weight and height so I can compare to the end of the year.

Sept 2nd stats:
Xander weighed 32.4 pounds and was 38 inches.
Sterling weighed 35 pounds and was 37.25 inches.  (To her defense she was 4 days constipated and on Wednesday morning she was back to her normal at 33.2 pounds)
