Fall = School + Football

Yes, it is August...not officially fall. However when school starts and the talk of football (and AP poll) begins, it should feel like fall, right? Well, it is over 105 here in Texas but, school has started and college football is right around the corner. This is what our life will consist of until Christmas break and college bowl season.

Sidney, our 4th grader, began school on Monday and was ready to go. She has two awesome teachers this year and is beyond excited every.single.morning when she wakes up. She gives us such joy, frustration, attitude and laughs.

Here is a picture of our precious girl on the first day of 4th grade.













Thomas had his first day at the auditory/oral preschool class provided by Birdville ISD on Monday. He will attend this school on Monday/Wednesday/Friday afternoons and his mainstream preschool on Tuesday/Thursday. Thomas had a great first day but, totally melted down when he didn't get to ride the bus home after school. Fortunately, bussing will start tomorrow afternoon. I have to admit that I want to pick Sidney up from school early so we can follow the bus home...over-protective mama, I know. I'll just send up some prayers when I know that he is in route home. Knowing Thomas it will be the highlight of his entire day. I can hear him now, "Mommy, I got to ride the bus home! It was so very, very cool!!"

A picture of Thomas before we took him to his first day of class.













Now for football...Sean bought Thomas a new football the other morning before getting Thomas' haircut. I'm always reminded when watching videos like this that I need to allow Thomas to be kid...not always having to talk and speak correctly. Here is a quick clip of Thomas playing catch with his daddy. I'm sure that his daddy would love for Thomas to play for the Aggies several years from now. And yes, he will need lots of practice, especially if Texas A&M moves to the SEC.
