Back to School

On the way to the bus for her first day of kindergarten Genna said her tummy hurt. I asked, "Is it because you are nervous?" She said, "No, I'm happy." Which is something she NEVER admits to. So I guess the bellyache was from too many pancakes and she is going to have a great year.

The cul-de-sac is packed with kids now.  11 total from ages 1-12.  It makes us even more complacent on the house hunt.   We actually put a bid on a house in the neighborhood this fall, but backed out AGAIN, after our pal, Randy, from Housesmithe gave us a detailed inspection.  This is the 3rd time he saved us from impending doom (AKA the typical trials and tribulations of home ownership).  If we ever really want to buy a house, we should probably skip his services next time. 

Cousin David and Maya face off on Friday night AYSO.
We were surprised Maya wanted to play soccer a 2nd year.  It didn't appear that she took an interest in it last year.  Even more surprising was that Genna said she wanted to play!  So just as we signed our lives and $250 away to 3 days a week for 7 weeks in the fall and 7 in the spring.... they both decided they didn't really want to play.   Ugh.  

Maya's getting angsty.
