first day...

Last night the kids were so excited! After showers they each picked out what they were going to wear and laid it out on their bedroom floors!

Zach's outfit...

Noah's outfit...

Bailey's outfit...

This morning I packed 3 lunches...3...I just can't believe that I have 3 kids old enough to be in school all day long! We were ready with plenty of time to take my mandatory first day of school pictures!

Bailey- 1st Grade

Zach- 3rd Grade

Noah- 4th Grade
What the heck?....who is this kid...Noah looks so grown up in this picture. This was the first year that Noah was a little too "big" to have me hug him at the bus stop...too "big" to have me do his hair...and too "big" to wear both straps of his backpack...

Today marks the first time in 5 years of having kids going to school that I won't have a kid in either preschool or kindergarten...no more hurrying home by 12:30pm cutting into the middle of my errands. I almost don't know what to do with myself with just 2 kids all day long....

I can't wait to see them get off the bus...
I can't wait to hear all about their first day adventures...
I can't wait to hear what Bailey thought about eating in the lunch room for the first time...
Was she scared? Did she know where to put her lunch box? How was recess?
I can't wait to hear how having Noah picking up Bailey from her class after school worked...
I can't wait to hug them all and welcome them back home...
Of course we will answer all of these burning questions over an ice cream cone...because that is tradition...

I can't wait...
