1st Day of School!

What a busy and exciting time it has been in our household as starting a new grade has come! That's right, my big girl has just started 1st Grade and she was pretty nervous about it. She has a close friend in her class, so that was a relief for her. She loves school and loves her teacher, although she has not enjoyed all day school. She is so worn out by the end of the day and it has been hard for her. She has loved being able to walk home and eat in the cafeteria, she is definetly growing up way to fast.
We have missed her at home for sure. Henry always asks when sissy is coming home and doesn't understand why she is gone for so long. So we all have an adjustment to get used to. I was definetly a bit teary eyed seeing my big girl walk off with her class.
There she goes!
Henry started his 2nd year of preschool at 'Foxtales' and he was so excited about it. I told him that he will be the big man on campus and will have to be the teachers big helper. He has a tendency to be a bit on the naughty side, so I had to talk to him a bit.
It helped though, because he had a great first day and said that he was a good boy!
So now 2 times a week Morgan and I get alone time! I can handle one child, I think!


I wasn't ready for this one!
Last week we decided to do a little joy school with a few kids and take turns hosting/teaching.
So Morgan had her first day of school today and it was so incredibly cute. She was a bit confused at first and didn't understand what she was doing,
but she was pretty excited to wear her big girl backpack!
So here she is heading off on her own!


I love the expression on Morgans face here. She is showing off one of the cute things she did at preschool. What a fun time she had! I get to host next week!


It was really nice to have just Henry while Katelyn and Morgan were gone to school! I think that he really needs one on one time once in a while, so I tried to make it special for him.
I asked him what he wanted to do, and he said 'go to the Pet Store.' So we went to the pet store for a while and had a good ol time. Then we got smoothies on the way home. He was loving being the only child and being my big boy!
What a cutie, we had a fun together!
