Kids love braces when they start younger (10 or so). It seems "cool." Elizabeth will probably be delighted with the fact that braces are in her future.
My only saving grace is if I stay at my current job the kids braces are free. But I'd have to be here longer than I plan

Excersize << atleast this is my plan
Shower/get dressed/bathroom stuff
Coffee/breakfast

DF is in charge of getting DD up....
Wake up and out of bed 7:30am
Breakfast
Get dressed/teeth/hair
At the bus stop by 8:15-8:20am
All lunches, bookbags, and diaper bags are packed the night before. We each have cubbies so jackets/bags/extras will be in there.
I aim to have DD's entire outfit down to the shoes set out the night before. God love DF but his skills at picking out girl outfits is lacking

Now lets hope this is actually how our mornings go!

As far as lunches, I would have to wait and see until next year.View Thread

Kids/school plans:
DD Avery: turned 5 in July. Starting Kindergarten 8/27
DS Logan: 10weeks. Heading to the sitter when I go back to work next month. So sad
Current Biggest Challenges:
Dinner. << agreed. I know I can cook so many things. But when it comes to dreaming up a menu, I seem to be stuck on repeating about 5.
Excersize. I have about 20 pounds I'd like to get rid of but I can't seem to muster up any motivation. And now that I'll be going back to work I don't know where I'll find the time.
Best summer moment so far:
I have absolutely loved being home this summer. I'm not im education so I don't normally have the luxury of summer breaks

Avery starts kindergarten this Monday. This past Thursday we had "bus night" so the kids can meet their new teachers and go for a busride. We've talked to Avery prior and she seemed so excited. We get there and she cowers behind me refusing to meet her teacher, and then WOULD NOT let go of either of us to ride the bus. She was the only child to refuse the bus ride. She sobbed and watched as it drove away.
Anyone have a similar experience or have an idea that we can try for Monday? My worry is Avery will again freak out and cry, not making school the exciting experience we were hoping for.View Thread
