boy is built like a linebacker. He towers over all the teeny kids in his class.
The good news is, my boys are LOVING school! Sure, it's only been two weeks for Jude and one for Gideon, but they come home happy every day and are excited to go back to school the next day. To be fair, Gideon has been asking to go to school since he was eighteen months old. That boy could not wait one more minute for kindergarten to begin. Jude was cautiously optimistic. After all the build up, the boys are big fans of school.

Abby (almost 4) and Gracie (almost 1) are also noticing a huge difference in the day. At first, I think Abby was really enjoying all the extra attention and play time. Now it's starting to get a little lonely without her big brothers to entertain her, and Abby says "Gracie is so bad at playing princess castle!"
It's definitely an adjustment for all of us, and it has become very obvious to me that I need to find a more productive way to fill my time other than obsessing over what Jude and Gideon may or may not be doing during the day. That is where this blog comes in. I used to blog often, but then I got pregnant with Gracie. Having four kids and writing a quick blog post just seemed too overwhelming at the time.
Now seems as good a time as any to pick up writing again. I always enjoyed, and now I have much more free time on my hands. Did you know that taking care of two kids during the day takes way less time than taking care of four? Guys, I even had time to fold laundry this week. I mean, I didn't... but I totally could have!
What did other stay at home moms do once their littles started going to school?
