Back to School

It is that time of year again and it is so nice that Porter and Eva are in school. Porter is starting 2nd grade and Eva is starting kindergarten. Ivy THINKS she's heading to college.



I thought I would love having them gone all day, but I am realizing that suddenly I have to do all of the entertaining for Ivy. It's been a bit of an adjustment getting use to spending all of my time just with her! She is quite determined to dress herself in Porter and Eva's clothes and feels like a Diva the entire day. When someone is this proud of an outfit, it's tough to take it off her...that and she is amazing at fit throwing!

Speaking of Divas....Here is our beautiful Eva all dolled-up for church. Who would have ever suspected this little angel of causing waves at school?! The second day of school I got a call from her teacher, Ms. Williams. The class was given the assignment of "drawing safety". Eva got confused and didn't know what to draw. After a good ten minutes of her teacher working with her, Eva got so mad she stood up, put her hands in fists and yelled, "I'M NOT HAVING FUN!!" She was sent to the hall where she broke down into tears. The teacher came in the hall to see if "she was ready to draw the assignment." Eva glared at her, drew a face on the page, crumpled it up, threw it at her teacher, and yelled "THERE! YA HAPPY?!?" We worked with both Eva and her teacher to help them both understand each other and now they are doing great!
