First Day of School

I will say this last week was hard not to read any blogs or to blog. So many times I thought to myself I should blog this. Haha! Well today was the first day of school for the three older kids. We didn't tell them last night before they went to bed that they had school today and they all slept really good. Then this morning when I announced it was the day for school they were so excited! Here are the pictures...

The kids outside our house! They each had an apple to give to their teachers :)

Red and Mrs. Sherry (the teacher)

Red and Mrs. Kathy (teacher assistant)

We dropped Red off first since the doors opened at 8am. We got pictures with his teachers which is our tradition. I didn't have time to get him playing so I am going to take some pictures when I pick him up! He was so excited about school he wasn't sad about me leaving him at all. Made me sad to leave him but I'm glad he was happy about school. The funny thing about school for him is that his teachers have the same names as his Sunday School teachers who he calls Aunty Sherry and Aunty Kathy so we'll see if he mixes them up!!! I just can't believe he is old enough to be in school. Also glad that we dropped him off first because then I had two other kids to get to class and it helped me not to tear up...

GG, my 2nd graders by her locker. See her lovely tattoo? She got it on Saturday and put it on without asking first! Oh well. When did she get so big?

My sweet Monkey at his desk. He has a friend from church in his class and they were both really excited about it and I hope they don't cause the teacher any trouble!

Totally not school related but one of the things I wanted to blog about was that J won a raffle prize through his work. It was $800 worth of goods and the best part was the fire pit! We've used it twice in one week. The funny part was that we were just talking about buying a fire pit for our next house and then he won it. God is SOOO good!
