Back to School Time!

It's that time of year again!  In keeping things real, I was pretty darn ready for the first day of school.  For most of the summer I had been dreading it, as I was enjoying having the kiddos all home with me (or mostly enjoying it).  Come the last couple of weeks before school started, however, my boys really took it upon themselves to step up their game and the fighting between them reached epic proportions.  By the time school started, I think I was ready to call it a day and separate these boys a bit.  One day they will be the best of friends, or so I'm told.  Right?  RIGHT??
What I wasn't as ready for was sending my little man Cade off to all day kindergarten.  When Colton went off to school, he was beyond ready and really itching to go.  Cade, on the other hand, is my homebody and pretty content to be my buddy.  Combine saying goodbye to him for the whole day and my pregnancy hormones and I might have had a watery eye or two. 
The first day of kindergarten they have an orientation where they ask the parents to attend and gasp!  Evan was able to slip away from work and come hang out with Cade for a bit.  Work can be crazy for that guy so it was a treat to have him there.
The after school cookies and Cade eating his with style.
And what's Delaney been up to while her brothers are at school all day?  Playing pant-less of course.
Doing a little light reading with her brother's chapter books.
And eating in style.  I will say that it's been pretty quiet with just Delaney and I.  A lot less wrestling and broken lampshades.  That's just not how we girls hang out at home.  But with another baby (a BROTHER no less!) coming in December, I'm going to soak up the peace and quiet.  We're excited for another boy to join our family.  Let the classic naming battle begin!  Because let's be honest, by baby boy #3 I think Evan and I are all out of names we can compromise over.
