The biggest thing to happen around this house is
Grace is a big school girl!!!
Monday was her first day of preschool with Mrs. Amy.
This last week has been a rough one, but a good one!!
After a long wait, it was finally the first day of school, Grace was so excited, she for real was bouncing off the walls. After we got her all ready, got a lunch packed, and her backpack on, we were ready to go!
Since she is a "peer leader" she isn't technically a student so we have to take her to and from school, but thats ok!
So we loaded everyone up and went on our way, while going down the valley she said her tummy hurt.
I asked her if she was nervous,
she said no but she was scared that they wouldnt like her and would be mean to her.
That pretty much broke my heart, but i didnt cry, i just told her that of course they would like her and they wouldnt be mean as long as she was nice to them!
So we got there and she said "I am going to miss you mom, are you going to miss me?"
Then said "hold my hand."
I pretty much just wanted to pick her up throw her in the truck and tell kyle we were homeschooling, but i didnt i just kept smiling and walking her to the playground!! She did let my hand go and went and played, i waved to her and walked as fast as i could to the truck to have my breakdown in peace.
To bad Kyle was there making fun of me!
When we went to pick her up, she was excited!
I thought "ok good, she loves it"
Then Tuesday morning came and we were getting ready to go and she started to cry and said "i wish i was a baby, then i could just stay home with you and the sisters."
So i called Jerrica and cried for awhile then loaded her up and went on our way.
I asked if she was excited and she said yes, she would just miss me!!!
When i went to get her she was a little more talkative and told me that a boy that she thinks name is Kevin made her a castle out of blocks!!!
I asked if that was her boyfriend and she just said, "mom, i am to little to have a boyfriend," then laughed!
So all was well, till Wednesday!!!!
We woke up, she cried all morning, but said she was excited, so i loaded her up after having to use the restroom 8 times!!!
I made Nancy take her again when we got to school, then got a note from Mrs. Amy saying that she had asked to go to the restroom 5 times, i thought she must have another UTI, but after a trip to the doctor,
she didnt!!!
So as of 3 nights with no sleep cause i have been worrying that i am making my child go to school when she just might be to young,
i got over it today!!!!
We got up had a few talks and found out she didnt really like the story that was being read so she asked to go to the restroom!!!
I did get another note from the teacher, only one restroom break, and she does great and she would have never known that she was scared or nervous cause she acts good and dances and sings and is a perfectly normal 4 year old!!!
I feel better tonight, not so much like a horrible failure of a mother!!
I love that in the car ride to school Grace tells me and both the sisters that she is going to miss us, and now i am glad to know that even if i am not right next to her she can still function, i guess that means i am doing a mothering job!!!!
But to have this week behind us makes me so happy, cause it was hell and i really thought a nervous breakdown was not to far off!!
So all is well with school now,
Grace loves it,
Today she acted alot better,
But next week we will start all over and see how that goes!!!

While Grace was at school i took a few pictures of Addison and Alaynna!!
They are pretty much monsters, they are into everything, and they can tear a room to pieces in about 5 seconds!!
Kyle went hunting this last weekend and brought the 4-wheeler home with him!!!!
These 3 girls couldnt wait to go on a ride with him, so he loaded them all up and they went on a little ride!!
They are all 3 little tom boy daddy's girls!!!!
So thats was August, it flew by!!!
I feel like i didnt even enjoy it cause i cant remember any of.
Oh well Septembers here and it will start to cool down and maybe then i will have a life outside of
my home and car!!!
