SCHOOL

Well once again I am doing the catch up game.  Here are pictures from the first day of school so the end of August!  I forgot how cute they were, so its fun to see them again.  I can't believe we are finishing up with our first term.  The kids love school and literally CRY when I check them out early I know because of Dentist appointments they were both sobbing, I guess I should be happy.  Elise is loving first grade and her amazing teacher Ms. Smiley (how cool of a name is that for a first grade teacher).  Anyway she is doing great and learning so much.  She loves having lunch at school.  I miss having her around the house. She loves wearing dresses to school and would wear one everyday if I let her. I just can't believe how fast she is growing up! And yes I cried the first day of school, both times I dropped off kids.  The house felt so lonely, with Kayla napping and the older two gone.

Brycen is loving Kindergarten and his teacher is loving him. Its been great to see him excel and be a helper in school.  He knows all the kids names and tells me the funniest things, like how he gave one little boy his sticker since the boy had lost his so then the little boy told Brycen he could be his Cousin.  I just laugh, I am also the Class Captain for his class so I try to be in there as much as I can, its fun to see all the kids and get to know them. Brycen has quite the memory so he quite of tells me word for word what the teacher has told him, like how in their classroom "We are a family of Friends" and how the hallway and his classroom is a NO FOOD ZONE, because someone has allergies.  Oh Brycen you make me laugh.

One of my favorite things is that their classrooms are right next to each other. I secretly was hoping they would be and I was so happy they were...

After school on the first day we stopped on the way home and got Slurpee's, I think it was a treat for me as much as them that I made it through the day too. The funny thing is I always thought I would have so much more time when my kids were in school and I swear it is the EXACT OPPOSITE! Oh well I will just enjoy the Journey!
