They Just Keep Growing and Growing.

Today was a pretty tough and emotional day for me. Today is Justin's 5th birthday, which of course I'm already an emotional mess about because he's growing up way too fast. The real kicker for today is that it was also his first day of Kindergarten. That was just the icing on the emotional cake for me.

I was nervous all night and woke to my stomach doing major back flips this morning. Dylan and I woke him up this morning by barging into his room and singing an extremely off key Happy Birthday. Cue the water works.

Getting him ready for school, watching him put his backpack on, walking out the front door, I nearly burst into tears at every moment.




If he was nervous he didn't show it at all. He was amazingly hyper. I thought he was going to bounce out of his shoes and I had to ask him at least eight hundred times to please be normal.




Poor Dylan, she's never going to have a normal brother.





She's taking it well though.





We drop Dylan off at her class first and then it's off to Kindergarten we go.









When we get inside his class that's when I get really nervous. He's hanging on my legs and hiding behind me not talking to his teacher. To my relief he joins his classmates on the carpet when it's time.





A little Birthday celebration Kindergarten style.





Then it's assignment time.













Oh how I love this kid!

Turns out we all survived the first day of Kindergarten. We'll just have to wait and see if we survive the rest.

Excessive?

Clue number 326 that I've been watching too much Criminal Minds lately:




I found this while planting in our garden and I immediately thought it was a human rib bone. Bryan grabbed it from me, turned it over in his hands and told me it had numbers on it. Turns out it was a cable. Oops!

So Neglectful!

Dammit! I can't believe I've been neglecting my blog. I jot down all sorts of ideas in a little notebook, but I never actually put those ideas to blog. So here's 5 quick updates for inquiring minds.

1) I effing hate summer. I'm over it already. Yeah so what if it's only July, I'm done!
2) I taught myself to crochet basically through watching You Tube videos. I still pretty much suck at it but I really enjoy trying. Dylan's barbies have a crap load of crocheted blankets, next project is a scarf.
3) I have a new obsession with Criminal Minds and I'm incredibly pissed off that it took me this long to discover my love for this show (and Thomas Gibson). So I'm trying to catch up on seasons when I can.
4) Without wine I don't think I'd survive much at all.
5) I have yet to fulfill my New Year's Resolution of telling somebody to fuck off. So if you have any volunteers/suggestions, I'll begin taking those now!
