The Countdown!

Here we are with only 11 days left until we go back to school! YEAH! We are so excited. Seth, Evan and I made a countdown and posted it on our refrigerator. Everyday when Seth wakes up he goes to the refrigerator and tears off a number.

Seth is very excited for Kindergarten. I think he'll be even more excited once we go back to school shopping. Hopefully he doesn't get bummed out by the fact that he has to wear a uniform to school and Evan doesn't. He will be happy to be getting a new backpack, markers, crayons, gluesticks, etc. Seth is also glad to know that his brothers don't get to be at school with him. Evan has to stay on the preschool side and that makes Seth feel "big".

I know that Evan is glad to be going back because lately he's been saying, "Jacob on time out." Jacob is his buddy that he used to get in trouble with last year. I'm taking this comment to mean that he misses Jacob and am hoping that it's not a sign of things to come for next year.

And Levi....Levi will be thrilled to be back with Amy. Especially when he gets to stick his hands in whip cream! :)

And finally...me. I've been counting down the days to return to school since the day school let out. I love my kids but I love going to work too. Also, this year I'm very happy that Seth will be in Kindergarten so I'll get to see him in chapel every Friday saying his Bible verse. Also when his class performs for chapel I'll get to be there. I'm very blessed to have this job and have my boys attend the same school!

All summer long I've been planning. I've got the first three weeks of lesson plans together, I've brainstormed lots of ideas for yearbook, I've come up with a new reward system for my class (BEE Bucks following our Bee theme), and I've been collecting supplies. (Thanks Amy)

11 more days!
