BACK TO SCHOOL

Samnatha started 2nd grade and Connor started Kindergarten. I can't believe that they are both in school. WOW. Samantha was so excitted to start school. She loves her teacher and is so happy she can FINALLY wear her new school clothes. Connor LOVES kindergarten. After the first day he told me that it was EXCELLENT. Connor's kindergarten is an extended day so he goes from 9 am untill 2 pm and Samantha goes from 9am untill 3:30pm. So it is just me and Zach at home. I am so glad that they love school !!
Connor sitting at his desk the first day. Mom's and Dad's go to come to school the first day.
This is what Connor did on the first day. It is "the kissing hand". There is this cute book about a raccoon that goes to school for the first time and the mom kisses his hand and draws a heart and tells him that when ever he gets scared to look at his hand and he will know that his mommy loves him. What was so cute about this was that Samantha knew this story and the night before she drew a heart on Connors hand and had me kiss it, she then told him that if he got scared he could look at his hand and remember mommy loves him. How cute is that.

I can't believe you have kids that big! So cliche but they really do grow up so fast. How fun for you to have some alone time with Zach.

Looks like the first days for both kids were a SUCCESS! They both look so cute. My Luke starts 1st this Monday which is so bitter-sweet. He is sooo READY and I am sooo not. Any advice? I know I will be shedding some tears! Have a good week Suz.

WOW! You guys started school already! One nice thing is that your school doesn't start until 9! They both look like they had fun! Kasin is dreading it! Imagine that!
