Back to School

Yesterday marked the end of summer vacation. After 7 weeks of summer vacation, my boys walked into their school as a 1st grader and 4th grader. Sigh.

The night before, everything was prepared.

Lunchboxes…

New backpacks…

New Shoes…

These boys woke up early (I’m talking 6:30 early!) almost every day of summer. The first day of school, though, and they slept in! I woke Cody up at 8 and he refused to get out of bed. He kept telling me “sleeping is fun!”.

Once they were wide awake and dressed, they began to get excited for school!

When we went school shopping, Cody picked out an item all on his own.

The hat has been a daily accessory so he, of course, wanted to wear it to school. Doesn’t he look awesome!

They both had a great 1st day.

We walked into DJ’s class just a little late and when he walked in, the class yelled out his name. It was a bit heart warming considering we were only here for the last 3 months of school. It is wonderful to know we have found a school where everyone knows each other and the kids are all so friendly.

Cody walked into class and acted like he owned the place. Sportin’ his hat, he made his rounds to say hello to old friends and familiar teachers. He also made sure to say “see my hat”. :)

The first day of school is always such a mixed emotion for me. As much as I love their company, I begin to miss a little of “mommy” time. Then when they go back to school, the empty house makes me miss them. A lot.
