Going Back To School...

Yes, today was the first day of school for our kids. I believe everyone was very excited. They ALL jumped right out of bed and got dressed within a few minutes. It was amazing-I wish it was like that every day. Joel said he was actually a little nervous today. This is his last year in elementary school. NO WAY!!! I still remember him on his first day to kindergarten with Mrs. Morrow. He looked so small.

My 5th grader; 2nd grader and 1st grader.

I had to take a picture of all of them with Lilli.

All packed up in the van-ready to go!!

Jesse and his teacher-Mrs. Dew

Riley and her teacher-Mrs. Denny

Joel and his teacher- Mrs. Parker

JoJo in the Van driving back home. Now what is he going to do without his brother's and sister???

Play with Lilla, of course:)

At the car wash...

A few weeks ago while my sister's kids were in town, her oldest- Christopher asked  me if he could wash my van. So I told him he could and he cleaned it very well. He even showed Joel how to do it. So Joel has been really wanting to clean cars lately. So Friday morning he asked us if today would be a good day to clean the truck. I personally would not want to do it in this HEAT but we gave him permission and told him that Riley and Jesse could help too. They had so much fun. They vacuumed; cleaned the dashboard and washed the windows. I think they did a pretty good job. So for payment Terry took all the kids to Sonic for some milk shakes. I think they thought that was the BEST part.

Riley, the official vacuum holder!

Vacuuming is a hard job!

Two essentials to washing a car: Water and Music!

I think Joel is liking all this work he has been doing: Dog sitting & car wash. He might start his own business at age 10.

SOOO....if you need somebody to wash your car or dog sit I am pretty sure I have 3 (maybe 4) little people around here that are interested in helping you out!
