My Baby is Off to School

My baby started Kindergarten yesterday, the same day my oldest started Jr.High. She was so excited all day long. It's pretty weird to have all of my kids in school. But kinda nice too.

Cabbage Patch Kid

Towards the end of the school year all of the kids in Karli's grade received a small cabbage plant to plant in their garden with the hopes of growing the biggest cabbage and winning a scholarship prize. Not many people planted it, and I wasn't planning on it but Karli was very persistent. So with little effort we planted the cabbage and left it all summer.

It sure was tastey! I'd love to grow them again because it was so easy.

My Little Boy

As I was driving my first born to his first day of middle school, everything in me was calm. As we passed the high school he saw the seminary building and asked, "Is that the cemetery room?" I smiled and laughed a little, mostly inside. He really still is my little boy, but not for long. He said that his stomach hurt-my little boy was a little nervous. I rubbed his back with reasurrance and love. Then he quickly left with a quick goodbye and I love you. I drove away. Smiling quickly changed into unexpected tears.
