Zachary's Harem
The morning schedule at House Houle is horribly hectic (trying saying that one five times fast). We all get up at 6 so everyone can be dressed, fed, and ready to go by 7:30. Aly doesn't start school until 8:15, but because she goes to a charter school there is no bus system so you have to get there early if you want to actually find a place to park and not have to wait in the drop off line. Besides....Mommy isn't quite ready to give up walking her to her classroom. When she and the other kids get to school they are supposed to put away their lunchboxes, folders, backpacks, and water bottles, then go sit on the carpet quietly and get ready for morning meeting. Let me tell you...that is a monumental task for Aly and her friends....and not because they can't do it ( though Aly is a social butterfly)....but because Zac is a bad influence. He doesn't start school until 8:45 so he has to come with to drop Aly off. Well....it didn't go well at first....until he found the girls. He now has a harem that come find him each day to play with him, tell him how cute he is, and dance with him during the patriotic song. I know I am a biased source, but with those big brown eyes, wavy hair, and 1/2 inch long eyelashes, he really is cute. I think we'll have our hands full with both of them when they become teenagers!
