We're settling into the routine around here: we get up at the crack of dawn to two kids who are already awake. Throw on clothes. Inhale Eggo's. Hair. Teeth. Bus (be it big yellow or black mini). With 5 weeks under our belt, I am pleased to report that we've found a routine that works well enough to eliminate the need for "Go! Let's GOOOO! Go! Go! GO!" It had to end. Who wants to start their day like that? The Army certainly. Thank God, at 3 and 5, we're not enlisted.
This week ended with the much anticipated Meriwether Lewis Elementary Roller Skating Party! The PTO bought skates from a rink that went out of business. We have no other roller rinks here...thus, last night, we had 100+ kids K-5 on wheels with little to no experience doing laps in the gym to Michael Jackson music. It was hilarious, and occasionally painful (when the fifth grade boy rolled full speed into me with a "laaddddy move!"). Siblings are welcome and Andy didn't miss a beat...in his princess skates that were strapped, fittingly, over a pair of black Chuck Taylors.
