First Day of Preschool

Anna has joined the ranks of preschoolers! Every morning last year when I dropped Austin off, I carried a crying Anna out of the school. She wanted to stay and play. It made the decision whether to sign her up for preschool this year very easy!

Austin was ready to go back to school about a week into summer. He told me I was mean and that he wanted to go back. He's Big Man on Campus this year, as he is the oldest child in the four year old program. Next year, he'll join Aidan at St. Patrick's (pending us still living here, of course). The four year old program is great at his school. They are constantly going on field trips to "educational" places around town like McDonalds, Dairy Queen and the donut shop. I got suckered into agreeing to chaperone all of these fabulous field trips. I went in the first day after giving myself the "No Room Mother" pep talk and was blindsided by the chaperone request. I totally flubbed it and walked out agreeing to chaperone and drive children to all of the field trips for the entire year. FAIL, MOM!
