Bubbie's 1st Day of School

Bubbie started his first day of school yesterday. He had a great time and came home full of stories. Although, after a while he told me to stop asking questions. His words were "Momma, I'm done talking!" He definitely missed his brother and his trains and was very excited to hear all about our day away from him. Yet another reason why I'm glad we only enrolled him in 3 days a week. My Bubbie needs time at home, to play, and enjoy the 4 yr old life!


Peanut and I had a good day. I got some stuff done around the house. Peanut helped me. He wandered around aimlessly looking for and calling out for his precious Bubba. Poor soul! I think he's actually teething, which has turned out to be a slow, painful process for all involved. Those last few are just having a terrible time coming in! Anyway, back to our day..... before I knew it, it was time to go pick him up in the.... drum roll please.... carpool line! Yes, this school has a carpool line. Thank Goodness! If y'all have never had a carpool line and then are able to USE a carpool line, its a relief and a miracle and a Godsend. Last year I had to get Peanut in and out of the carseat EVERY school day for the short walk to Bubbie's classroom. Rain or shine! Cold weather or hot weather! Didn't matter what the weather was, it was a hassle! I was so bummed when I found out that there was NO carpool line! I can't imagine doing that with a newborn, a toddler and Bubbie twice a day, three days a week! We'd have to leave the house 30 mins early to get the kids in the stroller. I can barely carry Peanut a few feet right now with my HUMUNGOUS belly, so the carpool is a wonderful, wonderful invention!!!




I'm thrilled that the school year is here. I am excited for this year and for my Bubbie. I love the teacher. I love her style of teaching. I love that Bubbie is getting to learn about God and the Bible and that Jesus loves Him at school. We are praying that the Lord pours His love and mercy and grace on our family, in all aspects of our life, but especially in the sickies department. I'm already prepared for the first cold attack.... which usually arrives a week or two after school starts. I am dreading the first stomach bug, but those are unavoidable. Again, with a new baby on the way, just praying for God's mercies on our family- health wise- for the next few months!




*Note: These photos are SO not staged. His expressions crack me up! I tried to get a "good" shot of Bubbie in his classroom, but he was in a daze with all the activity going on around him and getting to FINALLY touch his school supplies!
