First few days of school

MY LAPTOP'S ON THE FRITZ - I'M SO BEHIND ON THIS BLOG...I HAVE A FEW THINGS FROM THE SUMMER ON FACEBOOK - BUT NOTHING HERE...I'M OPTING TO GET THIS BACK TO SCHOOL POST DONE BEFORE WE LEAVE FOR YELLOWSTONE TOMORROW... AND THEN NEXT WEEK I'LL WORK ON SUMMER!



Pancakes and homemade cream of wheat for their 1st day of school breakfast!


The strawberry ones were to die for...


...and the blueberry ones - simply scrumptious!


Excited to go to school!


How fast they grow up!


Yet they are still silly billy kiddies!


Audrey ready to go get in line for the 3rd graders outside the school!


Kaden getting some joy school taught by mom.


Cutting up a storm.


When we went to pick up Ky from Kindergarten, Kade couldn't resist making some art with a stick and some water.


I finally got a shot of Ky after he was done with the 1st day of Kindergarten.
(Before he went into his class, he got nervous and wouldn't leave my side until I helped him sit in his seat...then I snapped a shot but the memory card was full - I wasn't about to try and take the time to delete a picture and take another one because I figured I had better get out while he wasn't following me!)


He was to shy to say he wanted a picture with his teacher...so when I asked do you want one with Mrs. Zaladonos he just pointed to her and that was taken as a "yes."


Audrey on her second day of school - I wish I could steal some of her hair!


Ky wanted to bring his blankie on the 2nd day (it's pretty special to him) but I told him that he's not supposed to bring things from home unless it's show and tell. So he opted for a picture with it instead!


I was able to get a picture on the 2nd day...with his Best Buddy Enoch!


Ky has Enoch and 3 girls he knows from church in his class! (He says they are ALL his girlfriends.)


Audrey outside her class.


And in her class!


On the 3rd day of school I let Kaden play outside almost the whole time Kyle was gone. I talked to Kev's cute Grandma Hansen for an hour and cleaned/organized the garage for another hour.


One of his favorite games that day was pushing his babies (balls) in the stroller! :)


When I went to pick up Kyle on the 3rd day I finally remembered to bring the chalk so he could draw a heart by his teacher's name. The 1st day he saw some other teacher's names with hearts by them and didn't want his teacher to go without because "he loves her." Notice how the heart took over the "Z" so I had to write a new one. ;)


And on the 4th day they finally allowed Kindergartners to ride the bus...here we have Kyle with a friend in his class and his sister, Audrey.


The waiting game.


When the bus came Ky froze and would not move. So, I went on the bus and asked Audrey to come out and walk with him up the stairs and sit with him. She came and got him and worked her sister magic...whew - WHAT A CLOSE CALL!!!



When he turned and smiled at me I knew I was all clear...thank goodness!

And then the bus pulled away with him on it!
I requested a.m. Kindergarten for 2 reasons -
1.) the teacher I was requesting only teaches a.m. and
2.) I knew he would need his sister to help him get on the bus!
