First Day of School

So today was that magical day that only happens once a year. No, it is not christmas or my birthday. What could it be you ask?!? Why the first day of school silly. That magical day when you don't hear "I'm bored" a million times, you only hear it a few hundred. The day when kids are excited to go to school, unlike a week from now when they will be "sick." And it is the day when my children will get up willingly at 6:30 in the morning. What a wonderful day!! Crazy as it was things went pretty smoothly. Kids dressed, hair done, teeth brushed, breakfast eaten, lunches made, ready to walk out the door by 8am. The sad part was that I was not able to be with them when they were dropped off to school. Being that I work in an elementary school I miss out on the fun of taking the kids on the first day. So....that said....the following pictures were taken by John.




Jazzy on her way out the door. **Please excuse the dead plants and dried up sunflower heads - just imagine how beautiful they were this summer!**



Hunter, the one and only time this year he will be smiling on his way out the door to school!



Yep - take the picture and get the heck out of here



And of course, now that Jasmine is a 4th grader pictures at your desk are off limits, per Jazzy ;)

The after school verdict.....drumroll please..... They have both agreed to go back again tommorrow!!! Both really like their teachers (for the time being) and are excited for this new school year.

I'm sorry you had to miss taking them to school! But what a good dad to make sure the pictures were still taken!
