Twas The Night Before The first Day Of School!

Not a creature was stirring, except for mom! Well the kids are all tucked into their beds and sleeping soundly. I can't believe that the girls will be starting kindergarton in the morning. We have had such a good night. We made rice crispie treats together and had a nice little treat. We got the back packs all ready. Ryan gave all 4 kids such wonderful blessings. The boys will be starting preschool in a few weeks also. I just sat there and watched as one by one my little ones sat down to get a fathers blessing. They were so excited. I will never forget the look on their faces. They are such special kids. And I am so very blessed to be their mom! We are so blessed. I am very thankful to have such a wonderful man as my husband and the father of our children. I am thankful to have that priesthood in our home, and to be here and see how it has blessed my family. My mind is full, my heart is full, and I am full of emotions. There are things I worry about. The girls will be riding the bus. I remember riding the bus for the first time and watching that bully at the back being so scared. I hope my girls have a good experience. I keep thinking about how much they will be exposed to now. They will be around so many other kids, and I want them to stay strong to what we have taught them. They are good kids, and I know they will do well! These are all just my motherly emotions coming out! Do Well Girls! We Love you sooooooo very much!
