School days

I'm having a hard time believing my little guy is in middle school.  There is a quote, "adoption is not for the faint of heart" well let me tell YA watching your kids grow up is almost just as hard and right now I'm doing both.  

So far so good no tears have been shed but almost.

  The downfall of the daycare business is my kids are so excited when they come home and eager to tell me all about there day but unfortunately I have about 6 more kids also eager to tell me about there day and I know I miss out on those moments and information.  I guess you have to take the good with the bad.  I am glad I'm here for them at the end of the day but wish I could give them my full attention.   One good thing I am looking forward to most with middle school is Banana gets home almost and hour before the elementary kids and with only the two little ones here who may not even be up from nap yet I will get to have a change to hear about his day. 

 It was awesome to see Carrot run off to the bus eager to go to school.  It only took all of Kindergarten and half of 1st for her to get there.  Thank goodness she got established before her brother went off to middle school.  She was full of confidence today and did not need her brother.  It makes you happy and sad all at the same time.....darn now I'm crying.

Caught the tail end in this picture of my sweet blowing me a kiss.   

So blessed to have to happy, healthy, and easy going kids......I wonder if this third is going to give me a run for my money!
