Ready or not it's time for school!!!

Today we started 2nd grade!!!  Well, kinda........I really am not prepared, but ready or not!!!

Since we are still living with my parents and I don't have all our things set up for school I am doing things a little different. For now we will concentrate on math, reading, nature studies and time in the kitchen. I am in hopes (and praying) that in the next few weeks we will be in our own home.  At that point we will begin using our curriculum and formal studies.

I'll share those later.

Talk about NOT being prepared!  I had intended to take care of the "back to school" surprises this past weekend, but I got a little side tracked.

We celebrated my parents' 49th wedding anniversary on Saturday and then on Sunday spent some time with Brant's parents and looking for houses.

I totally forgot!!!! 

And Matthew a certain little boy made sure I remembered last night as I put them to bed!!!!  I felt horrible! 

So I was up early this morning hoping I could make it out the door before the boys got up.  For some really strange reason Ryan was up before 6am, but I did make it out the door to Walmart before #2 woke up!!!!

He did get up before I made it back, he did inform me I forgot, but was pleasantly surprised with my findings. 

I did good!

You can't go wrong with Legos!!

And to go along with all the Lego stuff I included this...........

Hoping to go tomorrow to enjoy this nice weather!!

The boys quickly got dressed and we were off to breakfast.  I had let them pick where they wanted to go out to eat for breakfast. And much to MY surprise they wanted to eat at (please don't judge me!!!!) McDonald's!
~~~~We saw pigs flying the whole way there!!!!~~~~

Now on to the school pictures!! You know I couldn't have a first day of school without pictures. 
So here are my 2nd graders!

So grown up!! 

This is going to be a very different year for all three of us for sure.  BUT we will make the best of it regardless. 

Sorry I have been MIA for a while.  I have been trying now for a month to get a schedule going and just couldn't do it.  Now with school under way things will be different.  I strive on structure! 

Tomorrow I'll share our curriculum and other FUN school stuff! 

It feels good to be blogging!!!
