Back to School!

The kids had a great first day back at school on Tuesday. I was glad for them to be back at school as there were getting a little sick of being home together all summer! It also made for a very quiet day for me at my desk at work-I was getting used to my usual 4 or 5 calls from them during the day!

All ready and set to head out to the bus stop!

Taylor started 5th grade this year and is at the new middle school in Kasson. She says that she doesn't like school, but she could not hide her excitement to go yesterday morning. She had her alarm set and a minute by minute schedule of what she needed to do to get ready-hmm....I wonder where she gets that from??!!?

Luke started 3rd grade this year. He wasn't as exctied about the first day as the girls, but had no complaints either. He loves to play kickball with his friends at recess and this makes the rest of the school day worth it!!

Lizzy was super excited to start 1st grade. Her teacher is our next door neighboor and she thinks this is so cool. Lizzy loves to be involved and to be with other kids which is good because between 2 dance classes, bible study, soccer, piano and girl scouts, she has a super busy year planned!

All 3 of our kids are in school full time now. I would say that it feels weird, but I have worked full time for the past 4 years, so it doesn't feel that different except that I don't have to worry about who's going to what daycare or preschool or what time or where, which is very nice. It's hard not to have little ones around anymore, but as they grow, each day is a new adventure!!
