Last week before school officially started the girls had open house to meet their teachers. We were so excited about their teachers. Cohen has Mrs. Robinson and Kate has Mr. T and Mrs. Sandy. I was thrilled about their teachers and I know they are both going to have a great year. They are going to have so much fun and be so loved with each of them. We had kindergarten open house first. I'm still so sad that kindergarten is here for Kate. I'm so glad I held her back for that one year and had that extra time with her but now the time has come that I have to let go. She was very excited and she has a few of her friends that she already knew in her class. I didn't even get a picture from open house with Cohen and Mrs. Robinson! Slacker!
That afternoon before open house Kate had pulled her 2nd top tooth. Since the first one came out the week before I get to have the cutest little snaggle girl! She looks so cute with that big gap in front!
The next night was Bryce's open house. The girls had a special date night with Daddy so I took Bryce. Our own little date night too! Bryce has a special teacher too-his Suggie! We kept having him say Mrs. Lydia. It was precious. He is going to be all about school. It helps that he goes to our church too. No worries on his end, other than him being ok sharing his Suggie!
Thursday before school started on Friday Keyes and Cohen decided to invite some of their school friends over for a back to school pool party. Even though school is starting we still want to get a lot of pool time in because it is still so hot! Last week was pretty cool for August but the kids still swam and had a lot of fun.
Thursday night I had my moment about Kate's first day. I wanted to get it out before taking her to school! I thought the ugly cry might not be good in front of all those kindergarteners!
Friday was the big day for both girls. They were both easy to get up. The first day is usually that way then it is a struggle! Both were so excited. All 5 of us went to the school and walked each girl to their class. First Cohen then Kate. Notice in these first pictures the cute little photobomber in the window!
I love having teachers and friends that take pictures and send them to me! I love seeing a little glimpse into their day! I was sent several sweet messages from friends saying how much fun Kate was having and that meant the world to me. I knew she would but it is so nice seeing that smiling face!
Both were all smiles when I picked them up. That is when my tears came. I was so happy to see them and seeing Kate come out just made me tear up. They had great days. Cohen was telling me how much she LOVED Mrs. Robinson and that she was so sweet. Kate loved her teachers, her friends, and lunch time. This week it has been the same. They have fun stories each day and I love squeezing out all the info I can from them. So thankful for sweet teachers and a good first week.
This week it was Bryce's turn to go to school! Wednesday and Friday are the 2 days he will be going so his first day was Wednesday. He was so excited. I got a big kick out of his answer to the question, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" He said, "a Gravedigger driver!". Gravedigger being his favorite monster truck. I almost couldn't handle all the cuteness! And a big thank you to my friend Mary who let Bryce borrow his sweet first day outfit! We both are 2 moms that love to dress our kids in theme clothes and this mama totally forgot about a cute back to school outfit for her baby! Shame on me, but no worries because I ran into Mary who had me covered. Us theme wear moms have to stick together for sure! I love it!
Today was his second day and he was the leader! Leader days are big deals especially since you bring snack. Bryce wanted muffins and fruit snacks. Oh if I could freeze him now! Happy first week of school!
