Kindergarten Check List: Enrollment Complete

Yesterday was one of those days where I woke up worried, and dreading kindergarten enrollment. Don’t let Thade know, but Mommy was a nervous wreck! I debated going grocery shopping while Thade was at VBS, or head over to enrollment, I decided to go to enrollment. My best friend Stacey had warned me that enrollment takes awhile, and Thade isn’t a fan of waiting. So while we had a few hours, just Dylan and me, I got the paper-work together, and off to enrollment we went.

There was a pretty good crowd already, and a big table full of items that needed filled out and signed. I ran into a few friends there, so that helped my mood, and any questions that I had too. Once the initial paperwork was finished, then Dylan and I made the rounds to the ten other stations to complete enrollment.It took a little over an hour, but I’ll know what to do next year.

I saw Thade’s school principal and met the school nurse again too, and I even met a new mommy that has just moved to town. Dylan loved enrollment, he got to meet a lot of new kids, and I think he really wished that he was going to Kindergarten too. I got a lot of information about the school, and I think Thade will have a fun school year.

We just have a few more items to get done before school starts, and the days are ticking away…

Watch Me Try and Keep It Together Today

It’s school enrollment day, and I’m a worried mess already. I’d love to blame the fact that I am a basket-case Nico on preggers hormones, but it’s really because I’m not ready for my big kid to go to school just yet… I know he’ll do fine, and I know we’ll fall into a school routine that works for our family, but this mommy is having one tough day.

Seriously, who wouldn’t miss this cuteness all day?!?

Well if I can make it through the day without completely losing it and sobbing at enrollment, I’ll let you know.

This Morning, I’m a Mess

picture-0105

It’s 6:45 a.m. and I can hear two giggling voices, I look at the clock and decide that it is way too early for me, and my wonky tummy. Then I hear, “hey Dylan, run into Mom and Dad’s room and yell Mom really loud!!!” At that point I decided that it is time to get up and wrangle the kiddos that are already running laps upstairs.

I get both of the boys dressed nicely for Church this morning, and we make our way downstairs to get some breakfast. I’m really not feeling that great, and today it must be showing. Thade looked at me and said…

Thade: eeww Mom, you look really bad… Are you morning sick again?

Icky Morning Mom(and I was): Yep, I’m not feeling too good today.

Thade: Poor Mom, I hope you get better, my sister is kicking your butt!

Icky Morning Mom: with a snicker, thanks Thade

I hope I can shape up by Church time, I am one big mess this morning.

Cookies Cookies Cookies

016

What a long day… Nine hours of baking and about 17 dozen cookies later, and I’m finally all finished. I’ll post the list of the goodies soon. Tomorrow I’ve got to take 15 dozen cookies to our Church for Vacation Bible School, and then I don’t know if I’ll want to see another cookie for quite awhile. Time to grab a glass of milk and call it a night.
