My 15 and 13 year olds...oh wait...they are only 5 and 3

So this morning was very exciting.  I had my very first Room Mother Meeting at Woodland Elementary.  (The whole reason I quit my job was to be Room Mom, ha!)

This meant parking and walking in rather than the usual dropping Aidan off in the morning car line.  Well apparently Aidan has become aware that hanging around his mom is not cool, and made that very clear.  He asked me over and over why I had to go in at the same time as him and could I please not walk near him.  Really ?!?!  I thought I still had some time before my 5 yr old used his lunch box to hide his face so that the other kids wouldn't see him with his mom.  I guess I was wrong.

And then there's McKenzie, my 3 yr old going on 13.  She changes her outfit at least five times a day and loves her nails painted.  Her clothes must match, she must buckle herself in, and some of the things she says - WOW.  I need to write them down (I always think I will remember and then immediately forget) because they blow me away. 

So they grow up fast is all I am trying to say.  I am trying really hard to enjoy every moment (although McKenzie screaming at the top of her lungs for M&Ms in the grocery store doesn't always make it easy). 

No matter what, I am extremely blessed.
