It's Back to School Time

For my boys. Zachery goes back tomorrow and Avery on Tuesday. I have read from my facebook friends that some are excited and some are sad. I am not sure what I am, except relieved. We made it through a holiday season and it was nice and no one died.

I am excited about this new year. I am excited about taking charge of our money and living on a budget. I'm excited about saving money and adding an upstairs to our house. I am excited about all the things that are going to happen this year. All the fun we will have and all the memories we will make.

I am thrilled to be a wife and a mother and all the ways I will get to show my boys how much I love them. It feels like our life has been on hold for the past two years but now we get to move on again. Can you tell I am excited about this new year! lol

So yes I am looking forward to the boys going back to school. I can't wait to see how excited Zachery is to go to school tomorrow. And how thrilled he is when he sees me waiting for him after school. It will be nice to have a few hours alone with Avery tomorrow. I love that Avery loves school and I know he is excited to go back Tuesday. I can't wait to see what he's going to learn this year.

We are clearing out an area around a very old oak tree. We are going to put a swing for the boys in it when we are finished. So we spent the weekend clearing trees. I get to drive the tractor. And wow is it fun. lol I'm pretty good at and and pretty good at using the bucket. I drive up to a tree and lower the bucket and Mike wraps a chain around a tree then I use the bucket to pull the tree out. The big ones Mike has to cut down with a chainsaw. But then I get to drive the parts to the burn pile and unload them with the bucket. So that is what we will be doing these first few weeks of the new year. When it's not too freaking cold to work outside! lol
