Back to school baby!!

School is back in session, and boy is everyone excited, and I mean everyone. What does starting a new school year bring to our family you ask, well I'll tell you. Starting back to school means Emily will a 3rd grader (wow I feel old). Brandon starts his first day of "real school" he's a kindergartner (now I feel even older). This means that I only have two at home, with two mornings a week with only one at home (yeah even older). For Aubrey this means getting to pick whatever movie, show or anything else she wants to do without having to "compromise" shall we say with her older siblings. Dad finally will be able to sleep during the day with some peace and quiet, and I might actually get some stuff done during the day. It's just a win win situation all around. Did I mention school was back in session? WOOHOO!!


This is Emily and Brandon heading out to the bus stop on the first day of school. Emily has Mrs. Simkins and Brandon has Mrs. Townsley. It even rained on us as we were waiting for the bus.

Our newest kindergartner. He was super excited to get his academic career started.

This was the highlight of the day getting to ride the bus for the first time. He has been waiting years to do this.

This is what Aubrey and Tyson did on there first day of school. Augh isn't this the life?

Wow. You guys start early. We don't start until Sept.8th.

Enjoy your quiet days!

You DO start school early! Not that that matters to you! Can't believe Brandon is in Kindergarten. On the one hand, he was just born wasn't he? And on the other hand he does NOT look like a kindergartner!

I love back to school!! Only I wish that the weather felt back-to-schoolish.

Here's to having only one child at home two days a week!!! (Even if it's only for a few hours.)
