Back to School

I know some who are crying that summer is over, but not
this mom! I am thrilled that my kids are back in school.
I get a quiet home and peace of mind knowing that
they are where they need to be.
After 9 long years, I finally have just 1
child to care for.
Look out Asheville, here comes
Ruby and Mommy!
Xander is ready to start the 2nd
grade. As he puts it, He gets to play
on the big kids playground this year.
Big kid in the house. Savannah is starting
the 4th grade at a new school.
She was so excited to learn that her
best friend is in her homeroom.
Savannah has really improved thanks to
a summer at Sylvan. Hopefully her
grades will show all the hard work.
Big man on campus. Larry is in the 3rd grade.
He is the oldest Roberts' sibling at school and loves it.
He has beginning of the grade testing this week
that I know he will excel in.
A neighbors horse. Have we mentioned we really love living here.
It feels like we live right out of a novel.
Everything is just too beautiful to believe.
My 4 big kids walking up
to the bus stop. Hopefully we will
never come across a bear like our neighbors have.


Ethan could not stand still. Larry is such
a wonderful big brother. He tolerated Ethan
climbing all over him. And Xander was thrilled
to death to be able to walk Ethan to his class.
Finally, he is the big brother.
Isn't he adorable? I feel good about his first day
because I know he is in good hands. His K teaching
assistant is the same woman Larry had in K and
Xander had in 1st, so she knows me and my boys quite well.
Not sure what she did to receive this type of punishment, but I am thrilled
to have her again.
My little Ethan absolutely thrilled to death.
He has waited for this day for the past 3 years.
The first day of school and the first day he
gets to ride the bus. So many milestones.
A very sad little girl. As soon as all the kids
were on the bus and Ms. T pulled away,
Ruby was absolutely devastated.
Her Ethan was gone. I had to carry her
all the way home. She was too
weak with heart break to walk herself.
A few times,
she would go in the back bedroom
and sob. It was heartbreaking.
She has never been by herself.
I am sure she will love the mommy time, and the
perks that an only child receives.
I know I am already enjoying the quietness.

A little potty training update, Ruby has gone a week
now wearing panties with just a few little accidents.
She has done wonderfully out on the town to
let me know that she needs to go.

Happy Schooling Everyone!

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids.   A Valentine's gift from a dear husband.  I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores.  Just trying to tackle  one room at a time.  The first room I cleaned was the children's living room.  Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in  the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over  the footboard on my bed.  Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...
