This was a big Back to School year for our family - our Owen started Kindergarten! I can hardly believe that all of our children are officially school aged. So bittersweet! But, alas, it happened. Big, bad Kindergarten stole my baby! :(
We did lots of Kindergarten prep and read all of our Kinder books that we have acquired over the years...
When the actual day came, our littlest was a bit of a sleepy head...
We continued our Back to School tradition of breakfast in bed. That perked them all right up! Daddy made pancakes, bacon, and chocolate milk.
They obliged me with a few pictures... Seeing all of my babies in their uniforms with backpacks. Ugh- it's so true... The days are long but the years are short!
We dropped Owen off first. He acted like a pro! He just walked right in there, hung up his backpack, put his binder in his cubbie, and put his water bottle in its spot as well. A quick hug & kiss, then he was sitting on the rug playing legos with a friend. Success!
Mrs. Hendley will be his Math teacher.
Mrs. Wallace will teach everything else.
So proud of our baby!
Next we dropped off our big 2nd grader!
Same thing with him - backpack hung up, binder in cubbie, water bottle put up. Bam.
Mrs. Lovelace is his homeroom/Math teacher. She's an Aggie, which I am super happy about. Drew is not. ;)
Mrs. Mobley teaches Language Arts & History
Mrs. Stark teaches Writing, Grammar, and Science
Our little school does half days for the first week for our Kindergarteners. I am so thankful that they ease us (kids & parents!) in. It made it slightly easier on my Mama heart to know that I got to pick him up at 11:30, and he would only be there for 3 hours. I teased that I was just going to wait in the parking lot. Ha!
On Day 2, he was all smiles to go back! Yay!
I picked him up at 11:30, and we had a little Chick-fil-a date. :) He fell asleep on the way back to school to pick up his brothers. Kindergarten is exhausting!
There was a huge thunderstorm right at pick up time on the first day. That made pick up a mess! It also delayed our Back to School pool tradition with the Hunt chicas. :( We made up for it on the second day of school, though!
We couldn't quite get down the timing on our synchronized jump into the pool.. Owen jumped the gun a bit...
The bigs jumped together...
And Sadie jumped last. Ha!
We are so thankful for our little school and look forward to another wonderful year!
