Back to School 2009

Mikayla went back to school on September 8, 2009. She had a great first day of school. She certainly has matured some since 3rd grade. She has Mr. Wickering this year. Mikayla said he is a strict teacher. I am glad to hear that thought because her 3rd grade teacher was much more lenient. I took Mikayla to school for her first day. She wore her pink skirt with a pink shirt with butterflies on it. She looked very nice. After school, we went out to lunch at Culver's. She enjoyed that.

Today, was Joshua's first day of school. He has Mrs. Perry again this year. He is in Kindergarten. He went to school today like an old pro. I took them both to school today. Josh wore a pair of jeans and a green shirt with a soccer ball on it. They both ate a good breakfast in the cafeteria. Josh has 15 kids in his class this year. He will go MTh full days and Wed AM. He really is ready for 5 full days but nothing can be done about it now.

After I picked Mikayla up from school, we went to Subway for dinner. Then, it was back home. The kids played outside for about an hour. Joe did some laundry. I tried to do some reading but it didn't work out too well.


Today was Joshua's first day of K. He got up this morning and was ready to embark on a new, exciting day of K. I took both kids to school this morning, as I usually do for the first week of school. I took some pics of them before we left. Mikayla seemed more relaxed today. I walked in with them to the cafeteria for breakfast. Joshua had a good breakfast of cereal, cheese stick, applesauce and milk. I was so proud of him. Then, the bell rang so I walked him to his classroom. The K teachers had them all line up and each of the 3 teachers called off their students. There are only 15 kids in Joshua's class (If I counted correctly.). They each had to find their names on the desks and sit down. After they got settled in, I left. I actually didn't cry. He is so ready this year. Part of me really wishes he could go 5 full days because he is ready for it this year. Oh well, he'll go MTh full days and Wed AM session. I went to pick him up at 11:50 am and then we headed home. He had a really great day. Here are a bunch of pictures from his first day of school. I will be uploading many more to facebook so feel free to check them out there too. :) Thanks!
