First Day of school

Summer is over and my kids are not the only the sad ones. We've enjoyed the summer sleeping until 8:30-9:00. It was so hard to get up this morning. I remember when I was a kid, I was so excited for my first day of school. MMM...not so much here in our house. OK, so Melanie was! We had set out her clothes the night before and so she was fully dressed and her hair at least combed before I could even open my eyes. Spencer on the other hand...when I went into his room at 7:00, he was not happy. He pulled his sheets over his head and moaned and groaned. Once he was up he was pretty excited though. He couldn't wait to see all his friends. Spencer got one of the new teahers this year. We had three teachers retire from Cypress last year, so we got three new ones. Her name is Terry McIntyre. She is supposed to be just amazing. Melanie got Mrs. Harvey (Spencer's kindergarten teacher). They try to give you the same teacher that sibblings had so that you are familiar with them. We loved Mrs. Harvey, so we are very excited.

Melanie had a great first day. We were a little (ok, a lot) nervous. She doesn't do good with change or new places or people. Luckely, she has two friends from her Pre-K class in there and then one of her best buds from church. Spencer has tons of old friends in his class this year. One of the new neighbor kids is in his class too. The kids came home just so exhausted.

As for me, today I watched my friend's son for a couple hours while she taught a class. Then she came and took Chelsea away for a couple hours so I could get some stuff done. What did I do? I mowed the lawn and pulled weeds. Nice hah? Until tomorrow...

We were so happy that ALL enjoyed their first day at school as we too were a little concerned about how Mel might do. And to include Chelsea is priceless...what a fun family you have been blessed with. Oh, and thanks for pulling the weeds!

That's a great shirt to wear on the first day of school..."Attitude". It's a good thing the teacher knows you guys already. =)

Maybe it's silly, but as I pass all the school supplies at Target, I really miss going to school and buying all knew school supplies. Ah, the memories of Cypress... the pods and colors of the doors. Classic! Glad they all had a good first day.
