Jake's 1st Day of School....

Today was Jake's first day of school...  it seems so overshadowed since Sam has been in KINDERGARTEN for FOUR WEEKS now!?!?  My... how time flies!!!!  He was my typical Jake - not excited about school... he would rather stay home with Mommy!  BUT... there were no tears, so that is an AWESOME start to this new year of school!  He did say that he really wished Sam still went to preschool with him (me too, buddy!)... and he was a little sad he couldn't ride the "Memory Bus." I'm not at all sure what that is, but I figure that he's sad he can't ride the bus like Sam... which I am positive that he really doesn't mean that!!!! ;-)

Here is Jake (last week) when we met his teachers - Mrs. Melissa and Mrs. Leigh Anne...

And Mrs. Melissa helping with his craft while Mommy filled out her mountain of paperwork!

The kid at the bottom of that picture might possibly be the "Blue Boy" who took Jake's toy from him and made him cry.  Jake has told me quite a few times that he doesn't want to go to school and play with "Blue Boy".... let's hope "Blue Boy" wears a different color today.... and doesn't take any of Jake's toys!!! ;-)

Here is little man ready to go to school this morning... I'm sad to report he wasn't TOO excited - partly because he was leaving Mommy and partly because I had to turn off Spider Man!

His "happy face for mommy."

Showing off his Spider Man bookbag...

And looking out the window in carpool...

His poor attempt at 'being a big boy' for mommy!

(And now that I am posting these pictures, I see that he has a red mustache from his juice this morning... oops!!!)

Much better...

Getting out of the car!!!

ALL of the teachers at his preschool are AWESOME... this one ran out to greet him and take him into the building!!!! You think he made a lasting impression last year with all of the tears???????

LOVE them!!!!

Now I have FOUR HOURS 'to myself.'  Do I do what I should be doing, which is work? Do I play on Pinterest and look for projects, recipes, and other various ideas (such a 'time-saver' that is!)? Do I read a book? Do I watch TV? Do I clean up the house? Do laundry? Change beds? Give the dog a bath? Make a list for all of these things I need to do??????? YIKES..... I need to stop typing!!!!

Well, I guess I'll start by blogging ;-), then make my lists!!!!!
