First Day of School - Already???

So I cannot believe that summer vacation is over. It doesn't seem right that it is 105 degrees outside and we have to go to school instead of sit by the pool sipping lemonade & enjoying ourselves. Oh well, such is life!
Anyway , McKinney - today is your first day of kindergarten. You have NOT been at all excited about school until this morning. At breakfast you finally said, "I'm exited". I was so relieved to hear that.

Rebekah - you are obviously growing up. I can tell this from the lack of smile on your face for these pictures. You did not want me taking pictures of you, especially in front of the "first day of school sign". Anyway, you were excited, despite the look on your face!!


On the way to school.
Micah, you said take my smile Mommy. I love your sweet smile!!
We took Rebekah to school first. She is at the intermediate school this year, so this is a new experience for her this year. Her teacher, Mrs. Smith, seems really great and I think Rebekah will have a great year!

McKinney, you are at the primary school. Look how big you are and I love to see the smile on your face.
You have the best kindergarten teacher ever. You are going to have a great year. I am excited to see how much you learn and grow throughout this year!
You are already enjoying the fun activities Mrs. Johnston has planned for you.

And the end of the day was the best. Seeing you get off the bus was wonderful. You had a BIG grin on your face and I knew you had loved the bus ride home. That was the only thing you were looking forward to this morning!!
You both had great first days. Now we only have about 175 school days left until we can enjoy summer vacation again!!
