First day of Grade 2......eeekkkkk!!!!!



Well the bus came this morning just after 9am and took my little girl away......she of course never travels without an entourage. Today she had both of her EA's and the school nurse. The bus was late though as the driver got lost. She woke up this morning fairly easily and was smiling in no time. The school nurse called when they arrived at school and said Elle laughed and smiled the whole trip. Now all we can do is pray that she doesn't get sick a million times while being at school with all those other children....



Here is a little video of Kaden "dancing" with daddy.....he is doing well and I would imagine that he will be enjoying the undivided attention of his mommy while his sister is gone to school.....He loves to be talked to and 'loved'.


Since the big H1N1 thing is about to take off we are getting more and more worried about Elle (or Kaden for that matter) getting it. So, in order to keep our living environment as "clean" as possible we are going to let everyone know what exactly our rules of the house are!! I know for some of you you already know what they are and for some you may not. We are not trying to be difficult we just want to keep the kids and ourselves as healthy and happy as possible. Being that we have no respite if Elle is on a school holiday, school days off and sick days that leaves me as sole caregiver of BOTH. Last year Elle was VERY sick MANY times with colds, blood infections, GI flu......these literally put her out for weeks if not months and we feel if we can prevent as many as possible it makes it easier on our family!! So here they are!!



RULES OF THE HOUSE:


1) Absolutely NOBODY comes into our house with any kind of cold, flu or any other kinda sickness.

2) If you think you may be coming down with something DON'T COME OVER!!!!

3) Upon entering our home please be so kind as to wash your hands or feel free to use our hand sanitizer

4) NO CELL PHONES!! If you think you are going to have to use it while here please wipe it down with the sanitizing wipes we have.....

These rules don't mean people can't come over we are just trying to not repeat last years events!! We love visiting with people.

Hey Candace,

Apparently Blogger sucks right now as your post dated a week ago only just showed up on my site! I'm glad to hear that the first day went well and I'm hoping that all of the others have been uneventful since then.

I'll try to come by in the next day or two with the t-shirt. I can't come with the kids because they both seem to have colds...ALREADY!

Hi Candace,
I wanted to let you know that Elle has been part of my son's class last year and again this year. Although she is not often in the class, he really enjoys seeing her and is glad that she is feeling well. Even he has stressed how important it is to wash your hands regularly, and I must say his class does seem great with the hand washing and sanitizing. Hopefully that will help to keep those nasty bugs away!
Be well,
Lisa :)

Hi Candace. I'm so happy to hear about Elle's smiles at school. We're starting the paperwork, to get AShley into Kindergarten next year. Hopefully it will be a good thing. We're also hoping that this H1N1 thing passes without hitting our household. Hope to catch up soon.
