Preston started school yesterday. He would NOT let me take a picture so I could post it on my blog! He is turning into a tween! I knew this day would come. It seems so wierd to have a child beginning his pre- teen years as it seems like yesterday I was one myself. Anyhow he was able to get the teacher he wanted however there are a few of his friends in the other fifth grade class, including his best friend. He was a little bummed about that. His teacher said that will do A LOT of things together as a whole fifth grade so he was pleased about that. I love it how he was up and dressed and all organized with his school supplies by the time it was 7:30! He is so happy in the morning. Just the kid that I need! I am NOT a morning person! Zachary will start preschool after labor day and he is just thrilled! How sometimes I wish my boys were closer in age, however I am blessed they get along and love each other so much. Regardless of age, they both keep me on my toes and I love them so much! I have been really naughty about blogging. I have quite a few posts I have been meaning to post and just not done it so I will try to get around to that.

A Bear!
Ok, so I had to tell this story about Zachary. We were all laughing. Last night we were going to sleep and the kids were sleeping with us (good thing we have a king sized bed). We were laying down and someone(I am not going to name names) let out some gas...ok A LOT of gas. Zachary says in this surprised kind of voice"What was that!!!!' and I said, "I don't know, I think it was a bear". There was this long pause probably only five seconds but it seemed long for the response that came out of his mouth next. Zach sat up in the bed and with this serious voice he said,"Oh I'll go check!". Allen and I just laughed!!! LOL Preston was across the hall and so we had to tell him what we were laughing about. He laughed as well.
