Off to the Big K

Last night as a family we enjoyed getting our little boy ready for kindergarten. We went school supply shopping. There is something about seeing brand new crayons, glue, pens, notebooks, folders, pencils, etc. Especially when it is for 25 cents! I just get all kinds of new and organizationally excited. But this year, we had a list of supplies to buy for Simon. Definitely a small list but huge for his little life. Norah was upset that she could not pick up a box of new crayons, notebook, or whatever passed her fancy. Simon was his quiet, serious yet excited on the inside self. A few items still needed, but he is on his way, to the big K!

At checkout, I had to take Norah to a bench to put on her shoes. She looked at me and said "go to high school". I said "No, Simon is not going to high school". She replied "I go too". I mentioned that he is going to kindergarten, and high school is not yet (I know I know, it won't be long).

Then we had to go to "Grandpa's kinna-garten" to check the pumpkins. Again we had to explain that it was only "Grandpa's garden". And the pumpkin, muskmelon, watermelon patch is doing very well with leaves as high as my waist!
