: ) School : (

We're excited for school because...

• The boys are getting bored. Too little stimulation and schedule, and I'm fresh out of new entertainment ideas.
• The house needs a break! All day running and jumping, somersaults and fort-building means a lot of wear and tear on the furniture and walls.
• Less mom-guilt for me! I get lots of one-on-one with Blake, like he deserves. Meanwhile, the boys get to socialize, learn and "work" at school.
• I can finally start moving! Even a walk around the block is hard to schedule now.

We're dreading school because...

• While we have no problems getting out of bed at the crack of dawn; getting dressed, brushed, fed and out the door by 8ish seems impossible right now.
• Driving! Two times a day, every day to Adrian. With Sean's new schedule he won't be much help, so Blake is along for the ride, like it or not.
• The transition. All day school, especially for Ash, is going to take some getting used to. I'm expecting some rough rides home.
