Check out other Wordless Wednesday posts at Five Minutes for Mom.

Hi! I’m Tebow! It’s been a while, I know. But here I am. Still cuter than a bug. Or so I’ve been told.

We moved into a new house! Mommy doesn’t think I remember the old house. And I think she’s right. I mean, what’s a house? All I know is I finally get to sleep in my crib again. And there are these boxes that Mommy likes to bring into our room and they are filled with toys! And books! And toys! My favorites are the books and the cars. Or gos. I call them gos.

It’s been busy. I keep getting put in my carseat and driving to places a long ways off. I’m ok with it if I get lots of crackers and maybe take a nap. We got to go see my Grandpa Fred and Vieja and my cousin Seth came to visit and we played and shouted, a lot.

While kindergarten is very cool (or Candy Garden, as Fuller keeps calling it), we have added another first to our family’s activities- organized sports.

This is the first football season that Fuller is old enough to play on a team. And one of the GCA requirements is 60 hours of physical education. We can fill those hours with any kind of physical activity as long as it meets the S.O.S requirements- structured, organized, and supervised.

We talked with Fuller at length about options for meeting the PE requirement. We investigated several activities, but in the end we decided this would be the season that Fuller began his football career.

I love that he is smiling.

Tomorrow we start week two of the school year and after last week’s easy going schedule, we might be ready to crank it up a notch or two.

The truth is, last week when we got to Day 1 of the school year, my head wasn’t really in the game. I knew it was the first day and I knew we were going to get things done, but I didn’t really have a clear picture of how the whole “cyber learning” worked. Other factors were the messy school room, excitement over my dad’s upcoming visit, and Tebow getting sick on Sunday.

Messy evidence.

In about 20 (30 if I’m lucky) the boys will be awake. Tebow will be signing “more” for some type of food or drink and Fuller will probably be draped over the couch insisting that he doesn’t need more sleep (while simultaneously telling me he is still tired).

While it may seem like a typical morning, it really isn’t typical, because we start school this morning!

I don’t know if it has been mentioned on the blog, but when we moved, we didn’t just move houses. We moved across state lines, becoming Georgia residents. It isn’t that big of a deal since the Georgia line was about five minutes from our old house, but as we are finding out, there are differences in moving to the Peach State. And one of those is school.

Georgia offers a school at home option that allows parents who want to school their children at home to do so for free.* The state relies on the popular and well established home school curriculum of K12, which was delivered to our home in three big boxes during our July vacation.

I’ll probably explain more later, but today is the official start of the school year! Fuller begins kindergarten!

Let the wild rumpus start…

*Free means we still pay for it with tax dollars, and anything we want to supplement (like art and music) we have to pay for ourselves. The core stuff is provided by the state.
