We made it through the first day of school. It was really good, the kids all had an awesome day. I can't believe how emotional I was walking them to their classes this morning, and I had a pit in my stomach leaving Cade at the bus stop. I was so nervous for him!!! I guess middle school age is jsut too recent in my memory, I was worried he'd sit alone at lunch. Apparently, he was able to demonstrate adequate football skills in the morning that allowed him to have a bunch a football buddies to hang with at lunch. Boy, it just hasn't changed one bit from 20 years ago, huh?? Sadie made friends, Cooper says he will tomorrow, he wasn't worried about it. According to Wyatt he made friends with every SINGLE KID and everyone loves his hair. LOL The first thing out of Daytons mouth was a reserved "it was fun". They all are ready and willing to go back tomorrow. YAY! Success!

I was not planning on getting Breaking Dawn until I knew I could really sit down and get into it. Which I was planning for after I got the downstairs painted but.....
Conversation on the way home from picking Cade up at the airport ( from fiddle camp in MN)
C: Did you see the new Twilight book came out??
J: YES! I can't wait to read it! I've been waiting almost a YEAR and I'm dying to read it!
C: Why didn't you get it?
J: Because I know once I start it I won't be able to stop, and I have so much stuff to do. It would make me late for everything! :D It would have made me late to pick you up at the airport, probably!
C: Really?
J: Yeah, I went online and read the first part and I read part of Midnight Sun, so that will have to tide me over.
C: Well I wish I could have given you this sooner then......
And he pulls Breaking Dawn out of his backpack!!!! And he signed the inside title page to me Love ya Mom, love Cade! I started tearing up I was so surprised and touched that he saw that and knew I'd love it. I hadn't really been talking about it that much, he just knew. It was an awesome moment.

And a little add-on about Sadie: She stayed up till after midnight on Friday night helping me finish scraping the wall of crappiness and we got it finished. We had Hairspray on in the background and chatted the whole time. She's such a good girl! I have to admit, little kids and babies are really fun, but I'm loving them getting older and more on my level. Now I'm going to go finish my book :D
