First day of school


Wednesday was already the first day back to school. It was also Devin's first day of kindergarten! This year I am carpooling with my neighbor, so the "extra" child in the picture is our friend, Hunter. Avery (who started 2nd grade) and Devin got great teachers and as of this coming Monday Justin will be happy with his class as well. He was in a 4th/5th grade combo class, but I got that changed and so next week he will be in a regular 5th grade class. Yay! On the first day of kindergarten the parents go to class with their children and stay for only about an hour while they get a tour of the school and have a little story and basically the kids just get a taste of what it will be like. That day went fine and Thursday went fine and he said he liked it, but this morning he had a pretty hard time. He cried and didn't want to go. But when I picked him up he was smiling and said it was fun. Hopefully the newness has worn off and it won't be too scary when it's time to go back on Monday. As for us, Thursday Kirk had the day off and we did errands and went out to lunch! It's such a weird feeling having no one home for so many hours! Time to start cleaning out the house. Here's to a great 2011 school year!
