First week of school

I know I'm a bit late on this but here is a picture from Eric's first day of school.

I actually forgot to take my camera to the bus stop on the first day of school so these bus pictures are from the second day of school. Would you believe that I have to drive him to the bus stop? It's rediculous! It only takes me 4 extra minutes to drive him to school but he loves the bus...cranky bus driver and all!

The first day of school was awesome! After we got Eric off to school David and Levi decided to be polite to each other and act like the best of friends for the rest of the morning. This is shocking because when Eric is around David is too cool for Levi so they fight. After lunch Levi went straight to sleep. David asked to do a workbook page and then asked to take a nap. It was too funny because it was like he had been waiting all summer for Eric to go back to school so that he could take a nap. They both slept for nearly 3 hours. I had to wake them up at 4:00 to go get Eric off the bus. While they slept I read my Bible in peace and then I walked around the house picking everything up and putting where it belonged. I complained all summer about not being able to get the house "picked up" and I did it all in 2 hours.

The problem with really great things is that they just don't last! Napping was scarce the rest of the week which was frustrating because I feel like I have so much work to do to get ready for MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) this year. Check out our website http://www.oakridgemops.org/ Our leadership team should probably have had the whole upcoming year pretty much planned out by now. But seeing as we have 18 children between the 7 of us we didn't get as much done as I had hoped. I mean really you just have to laugh at that!! However, now it is crunch time...we start September 12th. I lothe the feeling of being behind and letting others down because I am not on track. I've got to let it go. God will provide for this group of women and their children despite what I in my own strength am able (or unable)to accomplish...I am banking on it!
