Where do they get this from?

I had to post what happened this morning before I forget. We walked Grant to the bus stop which is just around the corner from our house. He and Scottie were racing there. I rounded to corner to find them out of breath and stretching. Then I see Scottie get down and start doing push-ups. Of course Grant can't be out done so he starts to do backward push-ups. Cars are driving by while they are doing this. They stopped and just played around until the bus showed up. As it stopped, Grant got on the bus and Scottie gets down and starts to do push ups on the sidewalk in front of the bus and all the cars following the bus. Really? When I made him get up he said "Mom, why'd you do that?" As if what he was doing was totally normal. . . . I blame these traits on my husband. Can't say I'd see myself doing push ups in front of my big sisters bus.

First week of School!

 This morning I told Grant that I am going to lock him up in our shed so he doesn't go to school and so he won't grow anymore. Do you think I'll get in trouble from Child Services for that? haha. It's our first week of school and boy was I ready for this! Grant started 1st Grade today. He is very excited. He was nervous all summer long about going to school for 6 hours! He wasn't sure if he wanted to do that. Scottie will be starting Preschool in a couple days and he is super excited to. What will Lucy Mae and I do with our time?

We live close to the school, but thankfully Grant can ride the bus. He was excited to go. He was also happy to see it was the same bus driver he had last year.

After he got on the bus Scottie, Lucy and I quickly ran to the van and drove around the corner to the school. As did most parents in our neighborhood. It's like the Paparazzi is ALL over the school grounds on the first day. So many flashes and parents! 

 I didn't beat the bus, but I was able to sneak in the classroom without Grant seeing me. I got a picture before he saw me and got embarrassed that his Mom was there. Oh brother. I told him I'd come and cry like a big baby because he's getting too big.

I'm really excited to see what this year has to bring for us. It's amazing to look back and see all that they've learned in just a year!

Good luck to all with little rascals going to school!
