Birthday Boy and his Cupcake

The face you see below is his Dr. Evil face (from Austin Powers).

I have no idea what this is, but I am excited about it!

Quote from a Kindergartener

Overheard:

Connor: "How does God know everything?"
Michael: "Because he can see everything and hear everything no matter where we are."
Connor: "He must have learned A LOT in Kindergarten."

I shared this with this teacher and she said to be sure and write it down because it was a keeper!

Our Kindergartner

Well the time has finally come we have an official Kindergartner living in our house. He went to school and loved it. I decided to drive him today since it was his first day and all, even though he wanted to ride the bus (I am sure the novelty will wear off soon). I had no idea what I was doing with the carpool line, there were lines going all over the place with the middle and high school right next door. I pulled up and told the teacher I had no idea what I was doing, and that this was our first time. She asked him if he knew where his class was, he replied, "Yes" in a tone that said, "Of course I know where my room is, and even if I didn't I wouldn't admit it." Such a guy's response! He didn't even turn around, the teacher had to remind him to tell me bye. And then I drove off into the sunset thinking of him going off to middle school, high school, prom, graduation, then college.....actually I was only worried that he was wandering the halls trying to find his classroom. So worried that I forgot Keaton's swim lesson at 11:40am. Oh well. Hopefully his swim teacher will understand. Around 2:45 his bus pulled onto our street, and I was ready to take a picture of him getting off the bus. He was so cute just waving and smiling from a seat near the front, but as he waved the bus didn't stop. A panic rose over me. Was she just going to keep driving and not drop him off?? I mouthed to him, "Tell her to let you off!" and he just kept waving. She was dropping off the little girl at the end of the street and meant to stop in the middle so they could both get off. Then I forgot I was supposed to have my driver's license so she could make sure I was his mother. Sooooo the whole bus waited as I ran back down the street to retrieve my license. I am sure I am not the only one that had to do this, at least let's hope not.

All in all, it was a good day. He played outside at recess, saw some familiar faces, had music class, and gave me a lecture on how peanut products can make you sick so you have to keep your PB&Js away from the allergic kids. Enough said.

Happy First Birthday Cooper!!

Cooper is celebrating his first birthday today. Hard to believe that one year ago this sweet baby came into our lives with a grand entrance weighing in at a whopping 9 pounds 5 ounces. I won't ever forget calling Michael on the hospital phone from my bed and yelling he's coming right now hurry!! Cheers to many more years with this sweet little guy.
