Luca's First Day of Kindergarten

I can hardly believe that my baby started school this week. It's just so sad and depressing around here with my kids all gone...ALL DAY! This is the first time in 16 years that I have had the house to myself...and I'm really not liking it!!!! I'm sure I'll find some things to keep my busy....

My husband is so sweet, he gave me a gift certificate to a local spa...I have a European facial tomorrow, had a haircut and eyebrow waxing yesterday, I have a spa pedicure scheduled for next week and a massage the week after! He said it's time for me to pamper myself a bit!!! Guess I can do that!

Luca looks so handsome. Its harder on us then the kids.
Have a wonderful spa week. Remember they do come home. Take a minute and just do nothing. Have the house to yourself and do nothing. Soon enough they will be back.
I so am not looking foward to my Hague baby to start kinder this week.

my dd started Kinder this week also. She loves it -- I am not liking it. I have my 2 yr old ds home to keep me busy but still miss my baby girl!!!!!!!!!!

It is hard to believe they are old enough to leave us all day...

What a handsome school boy you have! And what a nice DH you have! I know it must be tough but hope you can enjoy some time for yourself.

He looks so cute!
Your DH sounds great.
I walked around our empty house after Kindergarten started. I really didn't know what to do with myself at first.

Thanks for all of your comments!
This picture was taken when the kids came home from school. This is Luca and his big brother, Dominic! It just cracked me up...and I thought you'd get a laugh too!
Enjoy....
