First Day of School (2011-2012)

I was up at 4:27am. I went to the gym, came home, made coffee, showered, dressed, made 4 lunches, wrote 3 love notes, drank coffee and had devotions with Greg, prayed, read my Bible, then heard Jacob run downstairs. It was 6:17am and he came in the kitchen and said "I am ready! I need to get in the shower so that I can get dressed." What?!? He was so excited. Not only did he shower, but he also told me that he needed to use "Dad's mouthwash and armpit stuff". As I was in the bathroom drying my hair, Jacob came in a "primped" for about 10 minutes. He sprayed, brushed, dried, sprayed, brushed, gelled, sprayed, spiked and then put his hair in a point in the front. Then he stood there and kept looking at himself. Checking the different angles. It took all I had not to laugh because he was so serious. Every time he looked at me I just smiled back at him. It still makes me giggle. I imagined I would have this with one, if not both, of my girls. I never figured it would come from Jacob. He was the only one who really laid out clothes last night too. Even down to his shoes. He came in and told me he like his lunch. I knew he would check that out. Today he got leftover pizza instead of a sandwich, which I knew would please him. Then he asked me why I put his goldfish in a bowl with a lid instead of a baggie. I told him it was so that they did not get crushed by his ice pack. He then asked if he could put them "in a rubbermaid". I told him he could if he wanted. He left to go try, but when I walked into the kitchen I saw that he had put them back into the original bowl. I did not say a word. The rubbermaid was too big.

When I went into the kitchen, I saw that Grant was up (6:45am). He was following Jacob around, asking, "You going to school, J-pup?" Jacob kept telling him yes.

Grace just got up (6:55am), just before her alarm (which did not even go off). Oh! The alarm just started going. Hopefully this will wake Jadyn up. Last night, she said that she would "want to sleep long" because her "bed was warm and cozy". She was not sure if she would like school. She said if she did not like it, she was "not going back".

Well, more later. Everyone's up now. Time to get started.
