Kindergarten coming to an end

Can't believe my oldest will be wrapping up kindergarten in about seven weeks.

My quest to live in the moment means I'm trying to cherish spring to its fullest. April vacation week was good. I took much needed time off from work, played with the boys, went to many parks, and tended to the garden. The boys caught up on their naps even. There were moments of sheer fighting and some yelling. I threatened to "turn the TV on" if the kids didn't stop fighting while I tried to make their dinner. What mom does that?

We've made a decision for Ben for 1st grade. Turns out to be the school I least expected him to go to--St. John's. No fancy prep school, but it seems warm, welcoming, nurturing, structured and calm. Now where to send Colin? Seems Ben always gets the lion share of my worries and energy, but Colin makes his opinions and presence known, believe me.
