First day of School 2010

Monday was the kids first day of school. I didn’t take the entire day off just took off in the morning for a couple of hours and left early enough  to pick them up from school. Lyssa’s in 4^th grade now and Tommy’s in 2^nd! Can you believe that? My kids are getting so big and too fast for me. I made them pancakes for breakfast and got them all cute and dolled up J Their backpacks were full of all of their supplies, well minus the Kleenex, but they can take that with them tomorrow…We got to the school and we had to try and find their teachers. We found Alyssa’s right away, but Tommy’s wasn’t outside yet. Once she came out, Tommy told me that he was in 2E and not 2F but I knew that wasn’t right, but to prove it I asked them both to see who’s roster he was on…I was right! Ha! But before I could say HA to him, we realized that we were standing on an ant pile and were getting attacked by ants! I got the worst of it, cause I wore flip flops…Alyssa shoes were covered in them though, so I took off her shoes and took off all the ants…Tommy got a few bites, but he was okay. The rest of the time he stood outside he looked down to make sure ants stayed off of him…I thought it was pretty funny. My baby was scared to get bit again…

I picked them up from school and they both said they had a good day. They didn’t like their lunch that day – Lyssa got PB & J and Tommy got a Burger… the school is still going thru some remodeling in the cafeteria and they weren’t able to make their lunches – instead they were brought in. Lyssa couldn’t believe they gave her PB & J – I was like “But you hate the J” and she said, “I know!” so she really didn’t eat lunch that day and as soon as we got home I made them dinner… chicken and veggies – their fav! While at the table they were discussing the burger that Tommy had eaten- he stated it wasn’t really good, but he ate it anyway. So Lyssa asked him, “what kind was it, was it cheeseburger, hamburger, what kind was it?” He said, “ you know the squeeshie burger…” and as he was about to continue she said “ew! And you ate it?!” he said “yes, that’s all they had and I was hungry.” She said with a disgusted look on her face, “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe you ate the squeeshie burger.”  I had to interrupt and ask them what’s a squeeshie burger… they said that it’s a burger that has squeeshie bread and it’s usually cold… I said well that doesn’t sound delish…and told him I was sorry he had to that burger. He continued to eat his dinner…
