Back to School

Last Monday we went to the school for Savannah to do her Kindergarten evaluation. At that time they gave us a folder that had the date of Sept 2 as the start date for school. Since then, I had been talking to a neighbor friend about the possibility of car pooling for school but our kids ended up in different classes. We had a typical lazy morning today, knowing that it was one of our last summer days before school started on Wednesday. Around 11:30, my neighbor friend called to report that her daughter had a great time at school and ask if Savannah was excited or nervous. My response was "doesn't school start on Wednesday???" Thankfully the teachers had remembered to tell my friend that there was a misprint on the schedule that they handed out but they had not remembered to tell me!!! In less then 15 minutes time, and with the help of Jeremy who happened to be home, we had Savannah fed, dressed, hair combed (or thown back in a pony) and dressed for school. We made it to the school without being late, and we happened to have already had some fresh apples at the house so that she was able to continue the tradition of taking an apple to her teacher on the first day of school. Not how I would have planned for her first day to go...but we all survied!!! Now I'm home in an quite house, this will take some getting used to....

1. If you could escape to anywhere in the world where would it be? Castaway cay; Disney's Private Island.

2. What song do you play when you are by yourself in the car? Welcome! from the Brother Bear Soundtrack (it just puts me in a good mood.)

3. If you had a night to yourself, and money was no object, what would you do? SCRAPBOOK ALL NIGHT LONG! If money were no object, I would first pay for my Mom and sisters (of course sis' in laws too...) to hire babysitters so they could come, then order prints of digital pictures on my computer (yes, all 29,000 of them), then go on a shopping spree at Roberts, then order in all kinds of delicious food to keep us going, and spend the entire night scrapbooking and chatting!!! Now that sounds fun...

4. What is your guilty pleasure? Sleep. Not glamorous, but true.

5. What is the farthest place you have traveled away from your home? The Virigin Islands.

6. Last book that you couldn't put down? Any baby book about twins. They have me scared to death, but at least I'll be well informed! My favorite book though is "How to be like Walt." I would recommend it to anyone.

7. When you want to escape into another time, what movie do you watch? Last of the last of the Mohicans. (In fact I'm listening to the soundtrack right now...)

8. What is your favorite local escape? Ross. I love a good buy.

9. How do you escape on a budget? With the fam...go to the zoo. Without the fam...head down to my scrapbook room.
