First Day of School

The first day of School was on Wednesday the 7th. The kids were so excited for school to start and they were excited about their teachers. Well Zach was excited about his teacher but Madison wasn't sure about her teacher because she is new to the school and we really didn't get to talk to her at the meet the teachers day, but they were excited to get back to school and to tell you the truth I was too. I love having my kids at home but towards the end of the summer they start to fight more and more and I get really tired of it. So I was excited too but a little sad that they are growing up, what happened to my babies. Carson started pre-school on Thursday and that was sad as well. I hope that he does o.k in pre-school, he is a smart kid but he is stubborn as well and that worries me. But I think that they all had a good first day, somewhat (I will explain the somewhat later).


We started off the day before school started by going to Jen and Daves and having smores with them, it was a great way to get ready for the first day of school. As we were sitting on our deck waiting to go to Jen and Dave's Madison wanted me to paint her fingernails because she got some new nail polish and wanted to wear it. She got a bright green and then blue crackle so we were going to put the bright green on first and then put the blue crackle on top of the because you have to put a color underneath the crackle nail polish. Well just as we were getting ready Zach and Carson came and wanted to see what was going on. So can anyone guess what happened next and by the picture below do you know who's hands those are?


Do you know yet who's they are?
If you guessed Carson you are right. He wanted his nails done as well and he wanted it just like Madison was going to do hers so we used him as the ginniepig to see what it was going to look like. He thought it was pretty cool. Larry was sitting right there and he was just shaking his head. Zach wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Here he is again I think it is hilarious that he like it and he new what he wanted.

After the doing of the nails we headed over to Jen and Dave's and started the smores.



Hannah eating her smore.

Zach eating his smore, do you notice the bump on his cheek. Well earlier on that day he fell off his bike and scratched up his knee and his shoulder, because he was riding without a shirt, and his cheek hit the cement curb, we were glad he was wearing a helmet because it could have been worse. I felt bad he had to start his first day of school with so many bumps and bruises and then this one on his cheek.



Madison being funny because I wanted her picture.

You can see the bright green nail polish, we never did put on the blue crackle nail polish.

Jacob being cute as usual.

Hannah looking to see if her marshmallow is done.

Here is a better picture of Zach's cheek.

Carson doesn't like the chocolate and the cooked marshmallow together so he eats them separately. He eats the chocolate and then a non cooked marshmallow.

It was so cute to see Max pushing Jacob on the swing. I tried to get some good pictures of them.

The morning of school came way to quickly and I forgot what it felt like to get up early again. I got up and made the kids waffles and sausage for breakfast and then they were off to get ready for school.


Madison and Zach before school

I get a picture of the kids every year in this spot. I love to see how they have changed. Madison looks so grown up here.







Carson had to get in them too, along with his sippie cup and leapster. He always looks so scared when he gets his picture taken, at least when i take it he does.

Zach in his classroom.

Zach after school.

Madison after school, but this was not the face she first had. She was not happy when she got off the bus and her words were "I had the worst first day of school", I asked her why it was and she said that her teacher is strict and that they can only go the bathroom once a day if you are in class and she said that she was mean. I think that she was just used to her teacher last year who was very relaxed and layed back, so I think that this might be good for. I told her that she can't say that she doesn't like her, and until she gives Larry and I reason to be concerned then we will handle it. We will see how it goes I guess.

This is Carson on his first day of pre-school. He never looks right at me when I take pictures of him, he gets distracted easily.

I know exactly how you feel about the first day, sad and happy too! Madison is looking SO grown up! What a beautiful girl! I love the nail polish on Carson, too funny. That cheek bump on Zach looks painful! And I hope the year gets better for Madison, it's hard to go from an easygoing teacher to a strict one. My kids have had that before and it always takes some adjustment.
