This is it….the last night of summer break. Samantha and I start school officially again tomorrow. (I decided it was probably a federal offense to have school on Labor Day or something, so it worked to my benefit to not have to start on a Monday).
I decided to also start Jake in Kindergarten. No, he’s not officially signed up. Samantha and I do school via an on-line school. Just like the other public schools, a child has to be 5 before he’s officially born in order to be able to start Kindergarten in the next decade, or something like that. And, since Jake won’t be 5 for about 8 weeks, I can’t officially start him. However, I have some Kindergarten workbooks. He’s already started reading, loves math, and sits along with Samantha and me during the school day anyway. I really can’t imagine waiting another year to start school with him.
So, if you ask me in person, I will try to just say, “Yes, he’s in kindergarten.” Just imagine that I’ve explained all the rest to you in person and I’ll try not to feel like I’m lying since he’s not officially in school and such. And that will be really hard for me.
So, there you go. Wish me luck. He’s excited. I’m excited. Samantha’s pretending not to be, but I’m hoping it’s just a good act. 
Goodbye, sticky, humid, hot, mosquito-laden summer days……
Hello, Spring – in Bolivia, that is!!! w00t! Actually, it’s been pleasantly cool and sunny pretty much every day since we came back!
Kerri, you and I have two things in common: we both love the Bald Man and we both (if you felt so inclined as to join me) can take almost a month off for Christmas!
Okay, we both have great spouses, love Jesus, have beautiful children, are extremely talented and enjoy your guacamole… Many, many things in common!
Tom: Like we’re almost the same person. Almost. Twins, maybe. Why else would we both be so freakish about spoons that have touched RAW MEAT. AAARRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!
