Freedom!

My life is about to get a whole lot easier! After 3 1/2 years of toting at least 3 kids with me EVERYWHERE EVERY SINGLE DAY things are going to change soon. Jonah and Samuel are starting preschool next week. Yipee!


I attended their preschool orientation last night and was really impressed with their teachers and school. They are in class with 8 other kids and 2 teachers. Their teacher said that her goal for them this year is to enjoy school, socialize with other kids, and have FUN. I couldn't have said it better myself!

Jonah, Sam, and Wyatt will all be in school Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But they are at 2 different preschools about 15 minutes apart! (Wyatt's school is awesome, but it is a combined classroom for 3-5 year olds. So, if the boys all went there all three boys would be in class together....and that would be a HUGE disaster!!!!! HUGE!!! Hence the separate schools!).

So three days a week I have to pack everybody up and drive 15 minutes to drop Wyatt off between 8:45 and 9am then drive 15 minutes back to drop the twins off between 9 and 9:15 am. Then I have to pick up the twins at 11:45 am and drive 15 minutes to get Wyatt at 12pm and then drive 15 minutes back home! Easy enough right?



But between 9:15 and 11:45 I have 2 1/2 hours with only ONE CHILD!!!!!! ONE CHILD!!!!! What am I going to do with myself? Cook? Clean? No, I don't think so! I am going to go to the gym and shop with only ONE CHILD!!!!! Maybe I can actually get all of my groceries in one trip! I can't even imagine what it would be like to get home with more that 50% of the things on my list! Maybe Shane and I will hang out at Starbucks every morning for a couple of hours! Who knows?!?!? It is so exciting.

But, I have a feeling that despite looking forward to some one on one time with my baby, I may be a little sad next week when my little guys head into school for the first time! They seem so young to me still. It's hard to believe, but my little guys are growing up. I am happy and I am sad all at the same time. All part of being a Mom!
