Daily Chores

So I've got Layla starting early on the housework!! She preferred chewing on the clean clothes rather than folding them, but that's okay! Can I just tell you that all the expensive toys in the world never measure up to the good ole laundry basket. That is by far the most used toy in the house. Brodie plays zoo and is the tiger in the cage. Or it can be a bed for a baby monkey and I bring him bananas to eat. Or a train choo-chooing around the house. Layla prefers this and laughs out loud driving all around. Okay, so we have a big imagination...that's good, right?

I have been a little slow getting pics out this week. All of our fall activities are starting to rev up so we have had a pretty busy week. Ladies bible study started this Tuesday morning. I am in charge of the opening times each week, very excited to see what God has in store this semester. Children's choir also starts next week at FBC Moore (the church we go to). I was co-directing the first grade but was asked to do the kindergarten on my own this year. Oh, boy. I don't know if I'm ready. Now, when I say on my own, I don't mean that I'm by myself. I have some great girls helping me, but I am in charge. Gracious what are they thinking. Brodie is especially excited that I will be his choir teacher. I hope he doesn't get bored with me! I am also President of the MOMS Club here in Norman for this year. I have been involved in MOMS Club for about three years and love it. Have developed some awesome friendships and been able to do some great stuff. Anyway, in the past six weeks we have had ten new members join and more on the way, so that has been a little time consuming, but great. Gracious, I didn't mean to give my personal bio to ya, but I guess that's what blogging is for, huh?

The big thing on our agenda is Brodie starting school on Tuesday. We practiced going up to school and walking in with his backpack and hanging it up and going in class. He was very excited to see his name on his hook and his place at the table. He is actually finally saying he's excited about school which gives me a sigh of relief. Previously he had been kinda noncommital about it. He also informed me on the drive over there (which is just about 10 minutes from the house) that he did not want carrots in his lunch bag. Poor thing has been eating them when I pack him a lunch or something for a church outing and evidentally did NOT want them! Anyway, I asked him what he did want so he decided all by himself on broccoli, pb&j, grapes and string cheese. I think I can manage that. We had parent/teacher orientation last night which went great. Damon and I really like his teacher and think Brodie is going to have a blast. Now if we can just get through the first day without crying....me that is not Brodie!! I can't believe my little miracle baby, 2lbs, 6ozs is going to school! I'm sure that we will take tons of pics so you will get to see the big day.
