STILL HERE

Yep...still at home sucking on icepops.....day 6.
Bash and I have watched every kids dvd we own.

ALREADY?

Six days...six days...that is all it took for Sebastien to get the first cold/fever of the new school year. Six days into the new year and we are home sucking on ice pops, taking Tylenol, and watching T.V. all day. I think he will be out of school again tomorrow...at least we can sleep in till 7:30.

FRIDAY!!!!

We made it to Friday...the first week of school is behind us. The hardest part is getting up and getting to school on time. I have had to drag Bash out of bed in the morning (funny how he was up before 7A.M. everyday this summer) to get him ready to go. But once he is up and has had his cup of O.J., he is ready to go.

I think he really likes the school. It is very structured and Sebastien thrives off that kind of class. Ms. Rodriguez (his teacher) is very organized, neat , and likes everything in order. Bash is the same way (like Daddy)...so I think he is going to have a great year!

FIRST DAY OF 4K

Today started early, very early. Helicopters woke me up around five because of a tragedy involving a police officer in town. I tried to go back to sleep but it didn't work. Joe got up and then I figured we needed to because traffic to school would be horrible with all the police activity around town.
We did make it to school on time. Sebastien was ready to go...lunch packed in his new spiderman backpack, new sneakers, and no haircut (never did get around to that this week). I was armed with the camera....pics to come later.
Car line was insane...all of us new parents had no clue what the hell to do, so I just sat in the car until someone told me to get my kid. The lady in front of me got an ear full from the principal...I don't think she was new and the principal had no patience with her today.
I think Bash had a good day...he said he liked his teacher and had fun but was really mad at some boy in a bright blue soccer shirt. He has not stopped talking about him all evening. I guess he was in Sebastien's face during the day, making gross sounds and sticking his tongue out. Sounds like a charming kid.
Anyhoo, Bash said he wants to go again tomorrow. Can't ask for more than that.

Summer Days Are Over

It is hard to believe that summer is coming to an end. We are now doing the last minute dash to the store for additional supplies for 4K preschool. I have to learn new rules for Catholic School and figure out the carline. In 48 hours Bash and I will no longer be free to do whatever we want during the day. I know most parents love back-to-school but I am a little sad. Yes, I will be able to get my hair done, go grocery shopping by myself, clean the house, etc...but I will miss my little helper. (some days he wasn't that helpful :)

Here is a picture that sums up summer:

WHAT A WEEK

Today, Bash and I dropped Grammy off at home after staying with us for a week. She had some knee surgery that turned out just fine. Sebastien loved helping her count her reps of the exercises she had to do and playing with the walker Grammy had to use for a three days.

It has been a crazy few days with Grammy's surgery, back-to-school things to finish, and some big news at the office for Joe. Just when things seem to settle down..we get back on the roller coaster.
Since we are starting Catholic school this year ( in five days, to be exact), my main goal for the next few days will be to get Sebastien a haircut...it is out of control. (exactly the way it should be in the summer:)

FLU

Well, the stomach flu came and went within two days...thank goodness. Bash and I are climbing the walls and need to get out of the house today! Luckly, Joe wasn't infected.
