School Days

Gone are the long summer days of going to the pool 3 times a week and staying up until 10...Yesterday was the big day, Grayson started Kindergarten!! Notice I didn't say Gray...he wants to be called Grayson at school! Jackson stayed up late the night before and when Chad asked him why he wasn't asleep he said "My eyes just won't close, I'm just so excited for Grayson to go to school"...such a sweet brother! The day started off great, he jumped right out of bed, didn't argue about eating breakfast so soon. He's one of those kids that normally likes to be up for like an hour before he eats...no time for that anymore. They all love chocolate gravy so that's what we had for breakfast yesterday. Teeth brushed, clothes on, backpack on...ready to go! Here are a few pictures.


Guess who's not a morning person?



This heartbreaking face lasted about 2 minutes until he got to his class.


My big boys!
Waiting in line to go in...


Standing in line waiting to go in the school.

So many parents park and walk their kids on the first day
that we had to park at the park by the school and walk.

They're bad, They're bad, and they know it!

All in all, the boys had a great first day of school. Jackson was disappointed to find out that they do a lot more work in 1st grade! Grayson had lots of fun and we can't wait to hear new stories from him every day...if he'll tell us! Harrison started asking me at about 10am this morning if it was time to go get his bubbies yet....obviously he's missing them already. I'm going to start him in TLC (the Little Church), mothers day out program on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting next week so he can have some interaction with kids his own age again and it will give me a chance to volunteer at school and maybe get to see the boys. Although you wouldn't know it by the pictures on the blog, they boys had a great summer. We got to swim often and they loved it. Jackson is jumping off diving boards and can swim to the end of the pool now. Grayson is still learning and will be doing it by the end of next summer...Harrison might be also! He will jump off the board to me and go under as long as I'm there to catch him. Kinda scary how brave he's gotten over the last few weeks but at least he's not scared of the water. Okay, so that's it for today...I plan on redeeming myself so no to be labeled "WORST BLOGGER EVER" anymore...Thanks Monica Smiley
