As you can see, they have to wear a uniform, which makes school shopping and getting dressed very easy in the morning! On the first day, I asked Canon if he wanted to wear blue shorts or tan shorts? The answer was blue. Then I asked, "do you want to wear a red, white, or blue shirt?" The answer was again... blue. Whenever there are enough clean clothes to actually offer a choice, he chooses blue on blue. Thankfully, with uniforms, I can be safe that whatever combination he chooses, he will look just fine! So far, the daily report on "how was school?" comes back with a "good." I love how descriptive boys are! Anyway, I'm happy they are happy and ready to learn!
On a totally unrelated note, I just started weight watchers today... heck, why not tell the world so I'm accountable to more than just the random stranger behind the scale every week! I've been very frustrated that I've been running all summer and haven't lost ANY weight! COME ON!!!! Obviously, for me to get rid of my baby souvenirs (and we WON'T be sharing just how many pounds worth of souvenirs that is!), it's going to take exercise AND eating right... go figure! I've also recently gotten some blood work done to make sure nothing metabolic is going on and to be sure my thyroid medication is at the right dosage. Here's hoping that with some focused energy, I will finally find the right lifestyle to help me be healthy and have enough energy for my rowdy boys (with looking like a hottie as a nice side effect)!
'Til later!

The beginning of school is always so fun. I am so proud of Cannon, he is so cute!
Good luck with weight watchers; I am pulling for you. You will do great. I will have to join you there in Janaury.
I think you are going to like weight watchers. I started 2 years ago and have been so impressed with how common sense and affordable it is. It really works, because it makes you think about the food choices you make without making you feel like you are being deprived. I hate being deprived! And you can eat what your family eats. I'll email you some of my favorite WW recipes. You'll do great. You are already doing the running, and that is the hard part. Yes, weighing in in front of a total stranger is hard, but the accountabiltiy is what makes WW effective for me. Besides, I don't think that stranger really pays too much attention to the numbers. Good Luck!
Rachelle,
I really don't mind weighing in with a total stranger... I actually like it because for some reason, I feel more accountable to them than I do to myself. I would LOVE some good recipes, but keep in mind, I'm a "basic ingredients" kind of gal. I'll have to learn how to buy fancy shmancy ingredients I guess! Thanks for the support, ladies!
Hey, I found your blog!! And now I'll be stalking you online. Maybe this way we can actually keep in touch since living 3 houses away doesn't seem to work. ;)
Good luck with WW. My mom-in-law had great success with it and I'm sure you will too! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by some of their recipes... not all of them are full of complicated ingredients.
Yay for blood work, sis! I don't talk to you often enough, but way to go! And, thanks for letting me kife your last two pills. You can cut mine in half someday if you want.
love you!
