back to school

My kids went back to school this week.  This was earlier than the norm, the reason being they will get out earlier in the spring and the district will have more time for construction.  It feels like summer flew by yet there were many times it seemed to drag. My kids got sick of each other and took up the sport of arguing to pass the time. 

Here are some things they argued about over the last few weeks:
Which one has a more advanced brain
Which one is more generous
Which one has had more screen time
Which one has the more "singery" voice
Which one could fill their shorts with more rocks to have the best "poopy butt"
Was the fence they past on a walk last year white or white with black

I could go on, but you get the point.  Maybe after a few days of silence I'll miss the arguments, but for now I love hearing myself think.  And the dog barking at the neighbor.  And the other dog barking at the other neighbor.  And the crazy loud cicadas.  Good thing school's almost out for the day!
