School Days

I love the first day of school!  The kids were so excited....as always.
Meagan - 5th grade

Lindsay - 4th grade

Ellie 3 yrs and Tanner 5 1/2 years.  Ellie and Tanner really really wanted their picture taken too.  So adorable.
Kindergarten starts one week later than the rest of the elementary.....Tanner was so disappointed not to be going to school with the girls.  A week is a VERY long time!

Tanner - Kindergarten
One thing I cannot forget to mention: He sets his clothes out the night before.  So cute!  He puts his shirt down, then his pants, and he even puts his socks down.  (He actually separates the socks and puts them right under the hem of his pants....where his feet would be).  He still does this.....a week and a half after school has started.  Every night.  Without fail.  I love this boy!

He was lucky enough to be in the all-day kindergarten class. He gets to eat lunch and have 3 recesses at school (he was so excited for this!). It was hard to let him go all-day, but it is so nice at the same time.  Ellie and I have a lot of time just with each other.      .....we've gotten bored a few times :)

so excited to be in Kindergarten!!!


getting off the bus on Tanner's first day

I took this picture on Tanner's 2nd day of school - Riding the bus for the first time!  The 1st day I drove him him and he didn't get to ride the bus in the morning with all the big kids.
