BACK TO SCHOOL!

Well lets just say I truly think my kids were excited to start school! alittle nervous but full of excitement! It all started last night, Hallie trying on different outfits oh my I thought i was going to die, Hannah and I just got to the point were we would say say YES wear that, Hallie couldn't decide if she should wear shorts or long pants and what shirt looked the best with shorts, Hannah was laughing Billy was disgusted and said that he hope Avree would not get to that point, Hannah was trying to remind me she wasn't like that starting Jr. High,I had to remind her she was.. finally Hallie picked out what she wanted to wear and all was good, until this morning and the her undershirt was showing to much skin! (which i am so glad that is important to her) so i reminded her that everything was perfect last night and she would be just fine... Oscar was getting his back pack ready last night and setting out his clothes (boys are so easy) he drew a picture for his teacher that he got in primary with a little saying on it (so proud that he is already doing his missionary work) he was all good to go and was so excited to go to school.. We had a great Sunday afternoon with everyone over and after Boyd got back from his meeting at the Church he asked the kids if there was anything special that they thought they needed extra help with this school year! (I love it when he does things like this) after none of them could think of anything or maybe they didn't know quite yet what they needed he asked them if he could give them a school blessing, He has done this with all of my kids from day one when they started the new school year, for those of you that don't know what this is i will try to explain it is just a Fathers blessings and he blesses his children that they can have a good school year and be strong and avoid temptations that are out there in the world and that they will pick good friends and be good friends to all .. ( I wanted to mention this because if you read the Ensign we are suppose to share some of our feelings on are blog about what we do in our Church for others to read, and plus like you all i wanted to use this as one of my journal also..) sorry this is so long.. then off to bed they went and it was a nice quiet evening, Boyd and I watched the Olympics and was so excited to see the mens swim team win it was so close! Oscar was up bright and early to get ready for school and Hallie was up when her alarm went off (i was her alarm) it was a good morning and I can't wait for them to get home, I will miss them they have been allot of fun this summer and we have had a good time being at home, this summer went by way to fast for us all.. I think i will make some cookies for when they get home today!
