These kids are getting old!

I'm never happy about summer ending... but the kids sure don't seem to mind once they get all their new school clothes on and head out the door. In fact, Eli who is now 8, set his alarm clock for 6:30 a.m. Monday morning... got up, put on his new clothes, ate breakfast and donned his new backpack. I was still sleeping since school didn't start until today and I don't go into work until 9. When I woke up and saw him in his new fancy schmancy clothes I asked him what he was doing. "I'm practicing Mom. I even went out to the bus stop and stood there for a few minutes!" They will rock this school year! Oh... and Trent is pretty excited that school starts today too!
