The Bus Stop...

I have to give props to God!! We now have a bus that drops off in front of my house. Who would have thought such a thing could be so difficult?

We are going to try the bus again today! Thanks to all of you for listening to me and for all your prayers! You are an awesome group of friends to be concerned with the Jones family's bus fiasco. I am so blessed to call you my friends!

Kindergarten Here We Come...

Abs was SSSOOO excited this morning! She went to bed early last night...which is a miracle! But she got up at 3:30 a.m. and wanted to know if it was time to get ready....Needless to say, Wade sent her back to bed.
Everyone in the Jones household now gets up much earlier than last year! 6:30 wake up time!! She ate breakfast, got dressed, and even let me flat iron her hair (without complaining....another small miracle!!)
This is the final results!!

Headin' out to the van....Little Miss Independent!!
The last pic before we left. We couldn't walk them to their rooms, only to the lunchroom. So I couldn't be the crazy parent documenting the entire morning...lol!! The only pic with Lily looking alive....She was NOT excited about getting up early!!

Hope everyone else has a great first day!!!

Kangaroos...

Fear the Roo(s).... Normally shopping for school shoes would never be the reason for a post, however, this is the Jones family!!

{Thanks to Barry for the Fear the Roo idea!}

So in true Jones fashion, we go shopping for the all important tennis shoes to begin Kindergarten. I look for the ones with the coolest colors and Wade goes for the tried and true faithfuls. He tries to get Abs to get some old school K-Swiss. Please note: There is nothing wrong with the K-Swiss but he gets all senitmental about having them when we was in school. So after we weren't sold, we go to eat dinner with the whole Jones clan. I merely make the statement about the K-Swiss and we all laugh...I then add "If Wade could find a pair of Kangaroos, that's what he would have Abs in!" (Do you remember the Kangaroos? The ones with the zippers on the sides to keep your ice cream money?) There was much laughter and Wade wasn't very happy with us!

Remember - paybacks are fun!!!

So off to the mall we go...still in hot pursuit of the school shoes. We end up in the Shoe Department and lo and behold we find.......KANGAROOS!!! They even have the zipper on side. So check out Abs new school shoes------

Wade got his payback on all of us!!!

And remember - "FEAR THE ROO(S)!!"
