First Day of School

Here are Kolbe and Avery...

Kolbe looking so big...
Okay...try to take a picture of Eli when he's just smiling. It doesn't happen.

Miss Thing
Wanted her hair curly again...the first day of school every year she has me braid it! She's so funny.
I had mixed emotions today. I have been so completely exhausted this month...that I've not been as fun as my kids deserve. And I've been seriously anxious and excited for school to start. But I must admit, watching Avery hang her huge backpack on her cubby this morning was HARD! And the worst of it...she was not even a little apprehensive! She tipped her head and smiled funny and said, 'well, I gotta make some new friends today!' Then she sat on the carpet for circle time and scootched her way forward until she was right between some kids. She's gonna be great! Kenna is always tough to leave, because she hates change. She looks like she might burst into tears at any moment! When her teacher was talking to her she would just sort of stare...she'll be fine, I know, but the other two were all smiles! Kolbester looked SO handsome and big today. He was completely confident, and made sure to double up on his morning shower of AXE spray for the ladies! Love this kid...Poor Eli walked away from the school sort of dejected...and said, "but where's Bo-Bee mom?" It will be tough on him...but fun to have some one on one time with him. He's big into playing games, so I think that might be my newest time killer! Nate took the day off, he says to take kids to school. But he was like tapping his watch the whole time...and now he's golfing...so we know what his REAL plans were!
Better get my tape done so I can be ready when he gets home...

Sounds like it should be a great first day of school. We started last week, but were out of town for the first 3 days! The boys were excited to come home and start school, I'm always sad to loose my helpers.

Sweet kids. So grown up! I had mixed emotions too!
