R & R NOT.....

So it is back to school for the Johnston's. I was a little excited to get some R & R . 

BOY WAS I WRONG..........

Take a look at my crazy busy life. 

5:30 am take Marshall to swim practice

8 am Victoria to school

9:25 am Isabella to school

AHHHHH

Errands, groceries, cleaning

2:25 pm pick-up Isabella

2:45 pm pick-up Marshall

feed Marshall 2nd lunch of the day

3:30 pm drop Marshall off at 2nd swim practice

3:55 pm pick-up Victoria from school

5:30 pm pick-up Marshall

6:00 - 6:45 pm Marshall seminary

7:00 pm Dinner/Homework

Then Monday's: 5:30 pm Victoria horseback riding

Wednesday's: Isabella 2:45 - 4:45 pm ballet, Marshall & Victoria 7 pm church

Friday's: Victoria 4:30- 5:30 pm acting, Isabella 6 -6:45 pm jazz.

Okay, I am not complaining. I just always thought the older your kids got the easier it would be. And I realized that the instruction part is easier but the time investment is a lot more.

I am just glad that I get to enjoy watching each of my children succeed at what they love.

First Day of School

Marshall 9th grade Atascocita High School

OK, so I found out both Marshall and Victoria are at that age that it is not cool to let mom take first day of school pictures. So here is the only ones I could get. Them in the car.

Victoria 6th grade Timberwood Middle School

 (check out her back pack that Adam made out of Duct Tape. yep it is awesome....)

Isabella had no problem posing for her first day at pre-school.

Isabella got Mrs. Kelly again this year and then Mrs. Cheryl is our neighbor. (Katherine's mom)

We think she got the best teachers in the school.
