Yesterday...

We thought it was a good idea...

and we still do..

.

BUT...

It was really hard to get out the door that early

We had to wake nearly everyone up 

(with the exception of Ava who probably hardly slept all night because she was so excited)

I had burnt my two hot cereal pans the day before so we ended up eating

cold organic turkey hotdogs for breakfast

No one was very hungry!

I really wanted coffee

Everyone was cold

We made it there on time, despite a last minute crisis with Ava's shoes and the absolute necessity of band aids

Keeping Ava and Benji happy for two hours was a challenge

Alec loved Physics class 

and used his walkie talkie to find me afterwards even though he knew 

exactly where I was

At the door of her first class, Ava hugged me hard and said,
"Mommy, I'm your sugar-bean forever!"

I knew she was a bit scared but being very brave

That class lasted two hours

Afterward she threw a tantrum in the hallway and screamed, "i'm TIRED!!!!"

She looked very funny throwing the fit because she is so tall

I tried hard not to laugh

Benji looked completely bored in Science and had nothing to say about it later

He and Alec loved the LEGO engineering class and I loved their teacher

Ava quickly got over her tiredness and she and Benji had a blast in gym class

All of Alec's teachers gave him candy

Halfway through Benji's Science class I started a headache

By the end of the day it was a full-blown migraine

Once I get a migraine all I can do is go to bed with an ice pack for the rest of the day

It was only 2:00 when we got home

I like the idea of this and I liked how happy the kids were

but

next week needs to be easier 

(with no headache!)
