First Day of School for TWO Kids!!

It seems way to early to have school starting already, but I guess we don't have a choice, so here we go!  Parker started 2nd grade (holy cow! 2nd grade already!) on August 18th.  He was so excited to start and didn't even want me to walk him to school because he wanted to meet his buddy Porter on the playground.  His teacher is Mrs. Stock and so far he seems to really like her and is liking the class.  His favorite things about school are math and recess. 

We are starting a new tradition of having the kids write what grade they are in and their name on a piece of paper for the first day of school.  It's a great way to show how their writing progresses throughout the years.  Isn't he cute!

Parker always has to get a picture of his backpack.  He went with his dad this year to pick it out and was so excited because it has like 7 pockets or something.  Oh the places he can store his treasures are endless.

Parker is just getting too old for his mom. After we took the pictures he hopped on his bike and off to school he went. He acted like it was just an ordinary day of school.  It definitely makes it easier for me to send him off, but I was also a little bummed.

Madi's first day of Kindergarten was on August 24th.  Her teacher is Ms. Flanery which is the same teacher Parker had for Kindergarten.  Makes it kind of nice and Parker was so excited that she got the same teacher.  He has been prepping her all week and telling her what they will be doing.  It's pretty cute.  She has been very excited to finally go to the same school as Parker.  I am sure it will be a challenge getting both of these kids out the door by 7:50 each morning... with us luck!

 One hair day down... 179 (or something like that) more to go!  Isn't she a doll!

Luckily we were able to find the much requested Tinker Bell backpack!

At least she will let me still walk her to school. 

 Amazingly enough, Annie is in Madi's class again.  They have had the last 2 years of preschool together and now Kindergarten.  I don't know if they will ever know what to do once they don't have a class together.  Lucky girls!

Madilyn ready to start her day!

I always hate sending my kids back to school.  I miss having them around, however it will be nice to get back on a schedule again and into a normal routine.  So far Myles and I have been spending a lot of time at home catching up on projects that have been postponed all summer (as pathetic as it sounds, my house is probably the cleanest its been all summer).  Have fun at school, kiddos!!!  We love you!
