First Day of School - 2013

First Day of School. First Day of School.
A day I dread every school year. I love summer vay-cay! It's so good to me. No lunches to pack. No kids to pick up form the bus....or worry about because they are home in my bubble.
The last few years Luke hasn't been able to walk the kids to class with me on the first day of school, because he needs to be at his school early. So I go it alone. 
I love these kids. 
It was an early morning. A lot to squeeze in by 7:30am because it was also Miss Pretty Princess Mermaid's 4th birthday. (I can remember like it was yesterday, bringing her home from the hospital, on the first day of school. It was the best first day of school everrrrrr.)

This year Bubba is in the sixth grade and has Mrs. Townson. He weighs in at 126 pounds, is five feet, two inches tall...and wears a size twelve shoe. 
Tubbs is in fourth grade and has Mrs. Leppke. (Bubba had her in fourth and we adore her!) Tubbs weighs in at 102 pounds and is four feet, seven inches tall...and wears a size 6.5 shoe.
Wiggy has Miss Brianna in Pre-K this year. Even though a lady never discloses her weight, she is tipping the scales at a sturdy fifty one pounds and is forty three inches tall.....and wears a size one shoe.
We don't make anything "petite" around here. My little bugs are growing up soooooo fast. Please make time stop! :)

  Trying to get the little birthday diva to cooperate for our usual pics out front before school, was not as easy as years past. Being four gives this girl an official license to express her strong opinions apparently.

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
