First Day of School...

the kids have officially been back in school for a week now...

A few days before school started Brig told me he was excited to FINALLY be a "grader"
Here he is the 1st Grader...

He tried not to act nervous that morning, but I could tell he was a little anxious.
But boy was he ready to get his new Yankees shirt on and head out the door!
And as soon as we got to his classroom his teacher walked up to him and said
"You must be BRIG!"
I loved her already for that and so did Brig.
When he found his table he was at the same table as 2 of his best buddies...and he was set to go!
He LOVED his first day and we loved hearing all about it.
******
And then there is the preschooler, little Miss Raegan!
Oh how she has been excited....she loves school.
The only thing that would have made her even happier is if I would have told her YES one of the million times she asked me if she could start kindergarten...one more year little one, dont try to grow up too fast on me.
I made a BIG mistake and told her she was starting school the same morning as Brig, then that night AFTER she had laid her school clothes all out and gotten her backpack ready for the big day I realized she didnt start for 2 more days. OOPS!
I felt awful, but even though she was disappointed she handled it like a champ.
But that made the REAL THING even more exciting for her...she couldnt wait to get there.
She has the same cute teacher as last year but lots of new kids in her class, she LOVED it and went on and on telling me all about it when I picker her up.

All in all the first day of school was a hit!
As for me...it was a bittersweet week! I loved some one on one time with Morgan, but I missed the other kids too.
I'll pay you a million bucks if you can figure out how to freeze time or at least slow it down.
Any takers??

I can't believe it's time for school again. Was the summer even long enough? Those are some cute kiddos...and sorry, I don't have any solutions for the time-freeze thing.

I might try and figure out how to do it if you really had the million dollars to pay out!

I know I want to learn how to slow time down. I'm wishing I could go back a few years to when Sierra was a baby and Brielle was two. I miss that so much!

Is Brig's teacher Mrs. Holman? It kind of looked like her. That is who Mason had for 1st grade at Twin Peaks. Are you even at Twin Peaks? Anyway....we LOVED her.
