And Mom and Dad Can Hardly Wait For School to Come Again..

This part of the song "It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas" has been running through my head for the past week.

Don't get me wrong. There is a lot to love about Winter Break. Sleeping in. Playing with the older kids. Having them around to entertain Brenley. Projects and general togetherness. Going to the movies. Going to the zoo.

But it is nice to get the kids back to bed at a decent hour. And certain children awake before noon. (Not naming any names...)

Brenley has come into my room twice this last week saying,"Mom? Can you please take me to school now?" How sad is that? Little kids don't really like it when you mess with their routine. She has had a certain sense of calm today since the older kids have gone to school. She is looking forward to pre school tomorrow. And so am I!;)

6 people know I love comments!:

I had teary children this morning who refused to go to be last night, and then were so tired this morning. I AM glad that school is here again. I think we do a lot better with prayers and scriptures when we have the school routine, too!

Bailey couldn't wait to go back to school either! I hate getting up early but love having a sort of schedule!

oh Sherry...what a special day. Those sweet spirits sure bring us a closer glimpse of Heaven, thats for sure.
Quite a crew there. Didn't recognize Ellen at first with her dark hair. Looks good on her.
You and the sis by you certainly look alike. Gotta love families

Yes, to have them in school is so delightful.
