Random Happenings

So, I have very little time for doing much of anything other than the daily grind, but I have to throw out some random things that have been happening here.
First,
Jack's first week of wearing a uniform started and the first day he put it on he said, "I look like an Irish Man!" He really kind of does, but I love it! He actually loves it too (You wouldn't know in the first picture, but the second shows his real emotions)

 Also, Alice is loving school now, and she doesn't even want to hug me when she sees me in the hallway! Heartbreaking, but good. Every night in her bed, she sings the songs she learned at school, and she always talks about her new friends. She is learning a lot already. YAY!

Another cool thing I need to share is this awesome addition to our household. These family rules are hanging in our kitchen, and they are treated as THE rules. They are perfect for our family. We are REALLY working on getting Alice to stop breaking the 6th rule (DON'T WHINE), because it's really making me crazy. I bought this here. She has really cute signs.

And the last thing I have to share that has made me so happy is this:

 I have wanted to grow sunflowers in my yard for years, and this is the first year that I DID. And they're beautiful. It was so fun to watch them grow all summer too. I highly recommend you do it at least once.
Another first in my garden was broccoli! Alice's favorite. I got these adorable kits that I have been meaning to blog about.  So, hopefully I'll find time in the near future.

That's all I have time for before my eyes close right at my desk!
