Where does the time go??

Obviously Brinley started Kindergarten so that right there is enough for mommy, but Braelyn has been acting a lot older all of the sudden too! You're killing me smalls! I mean, even the cat, Jonas, is getting bigger! Brinley has become a seasoned veteran at school and she is still bringing home yellow cards! :o) YAY! (I don't want to be pessimistic, but maybe she just doesn't know the kids well enough yet to get in trouble for talking!) I know my mouth kept me in trouble, so I am preparing myself! Braelyn seemed to crank it up a notch when Brinley started school. She is talking SO big sometimes. It makes me sad. :o( She has really been helping out a lot around the house too. The other day we did the dishes & then she wanted to help cook. Then she decided she needed to sweep under the table, which seems to have crumbs no matter how many times a day we sweep. She gets the broom & dust pan & gets right to business. I must say she did a pretty good job too, but she tried to dump the pan & bless her heart, she missed the trash can. Oh no we both said, but she was okay with it. She just swept it back up & I helped with the dumping this time. Later on we are eating dinner & Brinley dropped a black-eyed pea. I told her for the 100th time to eat over the table/plate & not make a mess. And then here it comes and for those who know how Braelyn talks will hear this in her somewhat deep voice & it becomes a little funnier, "Sissy, I already fweep unner dare, now I gonna haf to fweep it again!" Bwaaahhhh haaaaaa haaaaaa!! I could hardly contain myself. She is too much some times. Here's a couple of pics from Brinley's 1st full week of school and one from Jr. Vols Day this weekend...
