The World According to a 5 year old

A week before I moved back to school I had to run a few errands in Fayetteville (which is the largest "city" that is any where close to where we live).  So I called my cousin Misty and asked if any of her children wanted to ride with me, she came back on the line and said they all three wanted to go.  Here I was with an 10 year old, Dawson, a 5 year old, Jenna, and a 3 year old, Molly heading to Fayetteville.  Of course immediately Jenna had to know where we were going, how long it was going to take us to get there, and where we were going after our first stop...oh and of course if we could go see Moxie after we got back home!  I told them we were going to Pet-Smart and then to Coldstone to get ice cream.  Pet-Smart was renamed "Pets Mark" by Jenna on our journey, but my favorite moment was when we were stopped at the first stoplight in Fayetteville and Jenna asked "Meredith, is this traffic?"....in our small town "traffic" is getting stuck behind a tractor.  On my way to school today I hit every stop light and there was so much "traffic", which made me think of Jenna!  If she thought Fayetteville had traffic she needs to come visit me!!

Since we are on the topic of Jenna another topic that came up is where I go to school.  Her brother Dawson is in 5th grade, so he goes to elementary school.  Jenna has her first day of kindergarten tomorrow.  Here is our conversation about where I go to school.

JENNA: Meredith, Do you go to Dawson's School? (Remeber I am 22)
MAW: No, Do you remember when you went to that water park? (Wet N' Wild)
JENNA: Yea
MAW: My school is near that water park.
JENNA: Why do you go to school so far away?

....Jenna, I can't tell you how many times I have asked myself that since I have moved back to school!!  It is so cute when I talk to my little cousin about the concept of college!

We want to say GOOD LUCK to Ayden, Jenna, Leah Ashley, Casey, and Jane with their FIRST day of Kindergarten!!  Good Luck to Morgan with your first day of HIGH SCHOOL!  Devin (since I know he reads our blog EVERYDAY...not), Ryan, Kate,  and Joshua with their return to high school!!  Good Luck to Sarah with her first day back to Middle School!  Dawson & Katie Good luck in 5th GRADE (y'all are the "upper class") Good Luck to Eli my sweet sweet nephew---girls watch out!  Good Luck to Molly with her first day at Mrs. Pat's!  Good Luck to Eva-Kate--don't let the grandparents spoil you to much!!

Good Luck to Mrs. Kathy, Larinda, and Misty since it's the first day the kids come back!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow! We love and MISS YOU!
