So today was the first day of school. The boys were excited, but I was a little sad... it's going to be way too quiet in the house with them all gone! The younger two boys had backpacks full of supplies, plus an additional three bags full... so I drove them to school and got pictures of them in their classrooms. Of course, Sky wouldn't allow me to follow him to school... hahaha!! In fact, when I asked him if I could just get a picture this morning... he rolled his eyes at me. So the teenager eye-rolling has officially begun! :)

Kaleb was REALLY excited for a few days before school started, but when I went to leave his classroom this morning, he decided he wasn't too sure about it. After all, last year I taught in the next classroom! But when I picked him up, his teacher assured me he had had a great day!!
Kaden too was really excited! There were a few kids in his class from first grade, and thankfully he decided he liked his teacher on the day of the orientation. His 1st grade teacher is teaching 2nd grade this year, and he was SO upset when he found out he wasn't going to be in her class again. But his new teacher seems just as great!
Kaleb is what is called a 'car-rider' this year. He can't ride the bus until Kindergarten. When I told Kaden that I would be taking Kaleb to school every day and picking him up, he informed me that he was still going to be a 'bus-rider.' So we saw him this afternoon getting on the bus when we were walking out to the car. :)
As you can see, Kaden temporarily forgot the bus safety rules, and jumped off the bus from the second to last step. The first words out of his mouth were, 'Mom, no homework!'
Oh, did I forget to mention I surprised him anyway as he walked in the door? :) Sky said high school is SO much better than middle school, and that he really likes his classes... especially his art class!! He's also taking a really cool human science class taught by a certified RN, which will be great for him because he recently mentioned something about possibly wanting to be a physician!
