Back to School!

Well, this morning was a sad one at the Grabinski house. All three of our boys were off to school once again (Jack, Elijah and Daddy)! I can say in all honesty that Daddy was the only one excited about the whole thing. He is ready to get back into the swing of things after a two week break. On the other hand, Jack and Elijah were less than thrilled at the prospect of getting out of bed before the sun rises, this is especially true for our dear Elijah. By the time I finally coaxed him from under his covers, he found his way downstairs to the couch. This is where he laid until I made him get dressed and brush his teeth. He refused to eat breakfast and made it quite clear that he was not happy about having to get going so early! Jack doesn't mind getting out of bed as much, he usually is the first one up at our house. However, he does mind leaving his Mommy for the whole day. Although he is now in second grade, he still has a hard time leaving everyday. You could ask Uncle Brett about this! He give the boys a ride to school and must watch Jack return to the house at least twice to get another kiss and hug before he will get in the truck for school. This is heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time. Last night he brought up home-schooling again. He has been asking me to home school him since he started Kindergarten. I promised him that we would pray about it and if we feel that is the answer, then maybe, just maybe, we would do it next year.
And then there is our precious Ava, who begs to go to school with the boys every morning. She is just little miss social and doesn't want to miss out on any fun! Now Mommy is left in a quiet house.... or should I say quieter house!
