How is it my babies are now a preschooler and a 1st grader?! Tuesday the 8th was the day after Labor day so a busy start to a schhol week, it was also the first day of school ever for Jackson and the first time Audrey was gone for a full day at school. The morning went well as the kids were really excited to wear thier new school clothes and see familiar faces at school (Audrey knew some friends who would be in her class and so did jack). Packing a lunch was also a new thing, which thankfully we did the night before to simplify things- its a bit of a challenge still as Audrey doesn't eat a ton of typical lunch food: no pb&j or really any kind of sandwhich so we've been getting a bit creative. I dropped Audrey off at school first and she didn't want me to get out of the car :( I was a bit sad and kept offering but she insisted she could do it by herself! I did snap a pic of her walking into the building- the determined little thing never did look back. Next stop was Adventure Kids Preschool with Jack. He walked right in and gave me a hug only because I asked- he was such a big boy! It was like ok mom c-ya! When I picked him up later he just said "I was getting done with that place". Too funny. I think he meant he'd been there long enough for one day. Audrey was happy to see me that afternoon and soooo hungry. Judging by her appetite and the fact that 80% of her lunch was still in the lunch box I think she was too busy to eat. So we had afternoon snack and relaxed for a bit before the kids headed out to play. Here comes the sad part of that day. I hadn't realized that Dirt dog went outside with them too. A neighbor was walking her dogs down our street and Dirt ran out in the road to bark at them. Bad idea. One of these dogs was a pit bull and didn't want to be bothered. He attacked our little buddy and he ended up dying from it. Terrible, awful thing that the kids and i had to go through. So we are now down to one animal, our Charlie Brown cat, aka Mr. Brown. So the first week of school was a bit crazy but we made it and are looking forward to fall routine. Thanks to all of you who have sent us kind wishes regarding our dog- its been much appreciated. :)
