Schools Back in Session...

Here is to another year of books, learning, reading, writing and arithmetic. I love the start of a new school year. I remember loving this time of year as a kid! I love new clothes, pencils, crayons, and folders. I love the excitement of preparing your bag and outfit for the first day! The Sunday night before day 1 was celebrated with the Smith family. Sandy made a yummy meal of Chicken and Noodles with Mashed Potatoes, desert and all of the cousin's, it was a fun way to say goodbye to summer! Ben gave some pretty awesome blessings and my boys were excited (and a bit nervous) for the next day.

 

When morning came, Cameron was so nervous. 1st grade is always hard, because you have to be there ALL day! I cried because he was being so strong but really scared. It was hard. When the day was over, he told me "it was so much fun mom! I was only scared at the beginning!" That makes a mom happy!

 

Elliott and mom had a whole week together before she started Preschool! It was a bit rough because this was new to her not to have her brothers all day everyday and mom having to work. We went to lunch a time or two and went school shopping. She was ready! She loves Mrs. Stacy and couldn't wait for school to start.

 

I love that my kids are so excited to learn and go to school. I cross my fingers that it sticks around for quite a few more years!
