Back to School

(okay, this post is late... we started school 2 1/2 weeks ago. But better late than never, right?!)

The first day of school is always an exciting one. My boys... 3rd & 1st. Can hardly believe it! They are growing so fast! Nothing but excitement for Anson. Tanner, though a little excited at this point, but was also nervous.

Typical Anson & Tanner

Who's that watching us with that cute little face pressed against the window?

Overall it was a great first day of school for the boys. They came home happy, excited, and loving their teachers/classes. Tanner, my more reserved child even wrote on our big white board, "I LOVE 3rd GRADE!" I was so happy to see this! Especially since he was not excited to go back to school. Anson, as always, said his day was "AWESOME!"

I wasn't ready for the school year to start this year. I was enjoying having all the kids home, free to do as we pleased. Swimming, biking, running, playing... and all the other things we did all summer long... but I was looking forward to getting back into our schedules. Always a bitter sweet time of year. I was really excited about their new teachers. We were able to meet them 2 days before school started and they made great first impressions on me and on the boys. Yeah! I always enjoy school supply shopping. Don't you just love the smell of new pencils & erasers! And paper! I love paper!

Welcome back school time!
