Back Into It

The boys are almost through their first month of school now, and they are really enjoying being back in the swing of things.  Although I do believe that weekends now seem to have a deeper impact this year for them; the boys are excited to sleep in on Saturdays.  I got Nathan up for school this morning, and he looks at me with tired eyes and says, "Mommy, don't you just WISH it was Saturday?"

Preaching to the choir, kid. You'll be saying that until you retire.

Delphinium

I decided to take the job I was offered at the flower shop I used to work at here in Spruce, and I started last Monday.  With a new owner, it's an even better place to work, and my new job is an awesome deal.  I work just two 3-hour shifts per week, filling the cooler with new fresh-cut bouquets and arrangements.  I get to work in the back, I don't have to deal with customers at all, it's just fantastic.  It's relaxing, not too time-consuming, and taking home the week-old flowers is the icing on the cake.  I didn't realize how much I've missed having flowers around here!

Back To School

What grade are you going into?

We headed back to school this morning.  Nathan was thrilled to find out that he has the same teacher from grade one to teach him grade two.  Zack was a little worried to find out that he will have two teachers that job-share this year in a two/three split; and nervous because one of his teachers is a guy that Zack says yells a lot.  Both Pete and I knew that Zack might end up with this teacher, and we attempted to prepare him for it, but he had a very worried face when I left him this morning...  As Zack learns to handle the changes of being in a different class, he will eventually relax.  The first week of school is usually a tough adjustment for him, but by next week, he will be a happy student again.
