First Day of School

Everyone was nervous and excited for the first day. They all got up on time--too early, so they all had 30 extra minutes to be nervous and jittery. I was a little emotional after Michael gave them each a blessing last night, and a little sad, but this morning, I was just happy for them--no tears this year! It's an interesting day for me--I sit around, knowing there are many things I can do, but end up just waiting for them to get home and hear how everything went. Here are the list of questions I know I will fire off as they walk in the door: Nick: "Did you find all your classes? Did you remember your combination? Did you like your Algebra teacher better than you thought you would? What school supplies do you still need? Did they make you shower in P.E.? Any hot girls in any classes? Mallory: "Did you already learn the computers? Was Mrs. Evans as nice as last week? Were you nice to everyone, even the girls that were rude to you last year? Did you sit by Lindsey? Carter: "Were you a good boy in class? Were you a good boy at recess? Were you a good boy at lunch? Were you a good boy on the bus going to school? Were you a good boy on the bus on the way home? What did you have for lunch?"

Well back to routines, stress, anxiety and waking up early!!!!!!

Nick, 8th grade

Can you beleive how fast summer went by? Your kids look great for the first day. I am sure you look great too. Hope you have an enjoyable first day home alone for at least another 36 day or so until the baby comes!!

Cute pictures!! What a fast summer. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who was emotional last night after a Father's Blessing. I always am;) Today I was good, and got them on their way with no sadness or drama. Have a great day!!!!

I love first day of school pics! Your kiddos are getting so big! And of course, so good looking! I was out of town on the first day of school, so Jeff was left to get them ready and take pics.
