First Day of School

The smell of pink erasers,  freshly sharpened pencils, glue, crayons, paper...I love back to school time.  That's before we even get to the fact I send children away for several hours at a time. My house stays clean and quiet.  Errands get done quickly or slowly, as I determine. :)

Ms. 4th Grade

Doesn't like being back in school.
Has her first man-teacher.
Brought home her first text book homework already. 

Mr. 2nd Grade

Loves his teacher.
Thinks his teacher is the best.
Wants to please his teacher.

Little Miss Kindergarten

Has the best teacher ever.
Loves that Mom got homework on the first day and she got cake.
Wasn't scared because "Mom, all my friends will be there." Insert dramatic eye-roll.  (Hers, not mine.)

Miss Mobile

Not just yet.
But she's trying.
Hard.

3 Weeks Later

I'm finally getting around to posting first-day-of school stuff. With year-round school, this doesn't feel like such a huge deal, but it is to the kids.

Lyndsi is in 2nd grade and loving life and her new teacher. She was a bit nervous at first. She really liked her teacher last year. So far, so good, though. I'm loving that this teacher doesn't do a lot of paper work in class or at home. Reading is the main homework and soon I think there will be some sort of spelling homework. The best part? Wearing the same outfit to school as her bff. Totally planned and they looked so cute.

McKay started Kindergarten. Despite being a little nervous, he took to school like fish to water. I think it helped knowing his Grandpa Maynes taught Seminary to his new K teacher. (Definitely helped mom!) He had been worried for the last several months about how to make new friends. He has since informed me that it's quite easy to do. "You just say hi and then play together. "

Two kids in school, and I still haven't cried sending them off. They're just way to happy being there for me to cry. Besides, I still have Sophie at home. :)
