Oh look at our happy family. In these pictures we are just heading out the door to the BACK TO SCHOOL ice cream social- oh we are so happy. Aren't we a perfect family? Well let me tell you what you can't see in these pictures. Before they were taken we fed our children a healthy meal of sausage and noodles at 3 PM because that was the only time we could squeeze it in All through "dinner" they told us all the reasons why summer vacation simply could not be over including the fact that we have done NOTHING this summer. The dishes were still on the stove, dirty laundry within inches of our picture,toys EVERYWHERE! I actually had to hide the fact t
hat I too, am in mourning about summers end-openly lying about my excitement. Gabe wanted to know why he was wearing "church clothes" What you also do not see in our happy little family pictures was the event. Gabe met his new kindergarten teacher. As this sweet women was engaging him in conversation he actually covered his ears and rolled his eyes. I then closed my eyes and prayed for him to stop. So when school starts I will not know his teacher's face(my eyes were closed) Gabe will not know the sound of her voice(his ears were covered) And the whole time Ben kept telling me "he was STILL not excited" School starts Wednesday. Who cares if no one in our family wants it to. We will stand and take our typical first day pictures. And life will move forward as another school year begins!!!
