Finished week one

This was the first full week back to school. It was pretty good except we found out that there is a possible case of the H1N1 flu in the school. A lot of people are worried about it. I am not that worried. It just sounds like the flu to me. Other than that things went very well this week.

This was also the first week of my last semester of grad school. Both classes seem interesting and pretty easy. One class only meets for 6 weeks, so that will be nice.

This was also the first week back to preschool for Jacob. He was excited to go and has had fun. It was kind of hard to get him ready this AM because he said he didn't want to go because it was boring. However when I got home tonight and asked him how today was he was happy with it. He said they played and played and worked and worked. He said he made a surprise for me, so I am interested to find out what that is. On the way to preschool Jacob made up a lovely song. I can't remember the whole song because it was about 5 minutes long with no repeats. A few memorable lines were: "I love my brother Jeffrey. He is the best brother I have... I love Jeffrey even when he takes my stuff... I wish Jeffrey could come to school with me and be with me every day... I have fun with my brother Jeffrey..."

All in all week one was pretty good and we are looking forward to the year.

Last Weekday at Home on Summer Break

Today was the last weekday at home with the boys before school starts. Tomorrow and Friday Seth and I will be in KC. Today was fun. This morning the boys finger painted. Jacob was very cautious and careful with his paints and Jeffrey just dove right in. They both loved it in their own way.

After an attempt at a nap, the new laptop arrived. Jacob played maze games for 2 hours. It was nice for him to be able to play the game without the computer freezing up. After supper we had to go to preschool registration. The teacher went over all the information we needed to know and asked if there were any questions. Jacob raised is hand and said "I have a question." He asked when the first day of school would be. She told him it will start in 12 days. He is ready to go back. I am glad that he likes school and hope it stays that way.

When we got home I wouldn't let him play on the computer any more. The boys found the boxes and had just as much fun playing in those and they would have on the computer.

I am excited to start my 3rd year of teaching, but I will miss my boys during the day.
