A little counting game...

As we drove Little Guy to preschool today (Woo hoo no snow, no sickness, wait, okay I just knocked on wood, dang did I really have to write that? Moving along, nothing to see here.) Girlie asked if they would be in the same school when Little Guy starts kindergarten, so I started doing the math and here's how it goes:

Little Guy kindergarten - Girlie 5th grade = same school

Little Guy 1st grade - Girlie 6th grade = different school

Little Guy 2nd grade - Girlie 7th grade = different school

Little Guy 3rd grade - Girlie 8th grade = different school

Little Guy 4th grade - Girlie 9th grade = different school

Little Guy 5th grade - Girlie 10th grade = different school

Little Guy 6th grade - Girlie 11th grade = different school

Little Guy 7th grade - Girlie 12th grade = different school

Little Guy 8th grade - Girlie (omg breathe breathe) college

So my children will never be in the same school after the first year. And my youngest won't even be in high school when my oldest starts college. And at some point, for five entire years, we'll just have Little Guy at home.

On the plus side, we'll only have to pay for college for one kid at a time. On the downside, we'll be doing it for 8 - 10 years.
