First Day of School

I can't believe that summer has come to an end, and school has started again. We had a really fun summer, but it is nice to have a routine again. Well, kind of a routine. I am still trying to work on that one.
Camille is in second grade this year. She was so happy to go back to school. She loves her teacher, and loves being with her friends. She had to fill out a paper saying what her favorite things about school were. She said- recess, teacher, friends, and lunch. I bet that impressed the teacher! :) At least I know that she is normal. Except for one thing.... she asked me if she could wear a skirt on the first day of school. THAT, is not normal. I remember Mom having us wear a dress on the first day of school? We hated that. Maybe she doesn't mind, because no one makes them do that now.
McCray is our big Kindergarten boy this year. He started a week after Camille. He missed his first day of school because we were still gone for labor day. We kept him home last year because we didn't feel he was quite ready. Well, he is READY! I am so glad. He was so excited on his first day of school. He walked in an didn't look back. I had wondered if I would get teary like I did with Camille. I couldn't do anything but be excited for him because he was so ready. He loves his teacher and says that everyone in his class are his friends. I have realized that having a child in kindergarten ruins your schedule. I feel like I am going to the school all day long. I better get used to it, I have another one next year too. I guess it will just be a fact of life for awhile.

They both look so excited to be going to school. Poor Reed! He looks like he feels a bit left out. At least he only has to wait one more year.

I can't believe the kids are this old already. They look so cute.
