Back to a Schedule

With the start of school and the official end of summer comes the family schedule: school, lessons, homework, and bedtime. In some ways it is nice to get reorganized and have certain things to plan on each day but I think I am definitely a summer mom. I love waking up getting to plan with the kids what they want to do that day. I love not having pressure to get the kids to bed but letting them play outside and enjoy the fun of summer.
Peyton was very excited to start first grade. Our neighborhood has a great tradition of a back to school breakfast on the first day of school. It is nice because Peyton was a little nervous but when he got to the breakfast and got to be with his friends before school he forgot all about being nervous.
It was great that Lance could be a part of Peyton's big day. Everything is better when Dad is there.
A couple of weeks later Lexi was more than ready to start Preschool. Having Peyton gone all day made the day very long for Lexi. So her first day was highly anticipated and very fun for her.
Now it is just Kempton and I for a few hours during the week. I guess there are some advantages to going back to school like a quick trip to the grocery store can actually be quick.
