School Days

It's hard to believe that summer is over and we're entering schedule-mania.  Things always seem to get a little tense around the house towards the end of August and I can tell it's time to get into more of a routine.  I just wish we could ease in a little more slowly.

The kids were excited to go back to school, but Mason was a little anxious about starting 6th grade and going to middle school.  It honestly seems like I just put him on the bus and sent him off to kindergarten....oh, how time flies!


Here he is....a little sleepy because he has to leave an hour earlier than last year.  I've really been loving the time I get to spend with just him in the mornings and after school before the other kids get home.  He had a little trouble with his locker the first day, but has really adjusted well.  I couldn't be more proud of him!


Brady started 1st grade this year and is doing great!  His teacher is amazing!  We really lucked out.  Logan is now in 4th grade and this is the first year he hasn't had either a brand new teacher or a teacher teaching his grade for the first time.  He's a great student so I never have to worry about him....it's just nice to know his teacher has a little more experience this year.  


Last, but certainly not least....Claire started preschool!!!  I still can't believe that I get three whole hours to myself three days a week.  I hardly know what to do with myself!  She was more than ready to go and actually told me on her first day, "Mom, I'm not going to miss you."  And I don't think she did.  She's so excited to be going to school like "her boys" and is loving every minute of it.
