Bear Cub started Kindergarten 2 weeks ago and is adjusting pretty well! His teacher and new school are WONDERFUL. We definitely made the right choice to send him to this charter school. I'm really happy with the school! BC is making some friends and also likes his teacher. I think he's starting to feel at "home" there - which is good! He was SO sad to leave his preschool that I'm glad he's getting more comfortable at the new school.
Daddy Bear and I are doing well, too! I am just part-time now with my work, so I have time to work out again, grocery shop on my own, AND clean! Sounds exciting, right?!?! But I am thrilled and so glad to not have the hectic afternoons and nights anymore.
Here are a bunch of pictures to get you caught up on the last couple of months! Hopefully you'll see more from me before Christmas! LOL! I promise I will try to be better! Happy September!
** Warning! Most of these pictures contain some sort of reptile or insect! We have a serious scientist on our hands here! **
Just relaxing with Mimi...love this pic!
BC's pet ring neck snake that he caught on his own! No worries...they are not venomous! Unfortunately, this lil snake is no longer with us... They just don't do well in captivity!
All smiles at an indoor play place that we discovered!
BC's frog artwork and sentence about a book he had to read for summer reading homework. I love this pic!
And this, ladies and gentlemen, was probably the biggest walking stick that I'd ever seen!
BC still likes to play "puppy school" every once in a while, where he sets his puppies up and teaches them about a subject...usually reptiles. It's pretty darn cute! On this evening, he thought the puppies need to go on a field trip...so off we went! :)
Before school started, we spent a weekend up in N. Florida to check out our property and some of the state parks in the area. There is LOTS of nature to explore up there!
He caught another fence lizard up there! This one is named, "Fencey Jr."
Checking out the clear blue, cold waters of Madison Blue Springs. This is where Nestle bottles water from! Gorgeous!
I was giving Zoe a bath one evening and BC ran downstairs and brought these 2 guys back up...I was told that they were Zoe's "cheerleaders" for her bath. Too funny!
Fake snake! I promise! Boy, it sure looks real in this photo though!
First day of Kindergarten....looking handsome and disheveled all at the same time. He had WILD bedhead that day and no amount of me chasing him around with the brush could tame his 'do.
Check out his cool snake backpack...I was THRILLED when I found this at Pottery Barn Kids!
We had time for a quick walk around our block before that first day of school...and he caught 2 lizards. Why wouldn't he?!?! We call him the "Lizard Whisperer" here.
Big boy got right to work on his first day! No tears and a good report from his teacher! I, on the other hand, was a BUNDLE of nerves all day. I was the first in line at car rider pick-up that afternoon!
School spirit shirt...or dress?? It looks more shirt-like once he gets shorts on with it too! I think he can wear this one until he's 15....
Some creature... 15 years ago, I would have fallen flat on the floor with just the thought of having CRITTERS GALORE in my house. My, oh my, how things change! :)
