First Day of School 2018-19

School has started once again.  Where did the summer go?  The kids were really excited about school starting though and could not wait for the first day of school.  This year we have a 4th grader, 2nd grader, and a kindergartner!
Canyon Elementary here we come!  

The first day of school is always really exciting because it means new teachers, new friends, and of course new clothes!  

Colby and Emily started school a week before Logan so they got their pictures taken together first.  As you can see they love each other and were not at all crazy in their pictures...

They were all excited to start school. Even Charlotte had a big smile.

We always walk to school together on the first day so that's what we did.  When we got to school, all of the parents and kids were taking pictures so we joined in and took some too.
One dad was really funny as he was taking his son's picture.  He kept telling his son to smile and be happy because it was a great day.  The boy, probably a 5th or 6th grader, was not into the whole picture taking and just had a bored look on his face.  The dad was so happy and giddy though.  You could tell the dad was more happy for school to start again than his son.  I just had to laugh.  

Colby's teacher this year is Mrs. Nielsen.  She is a great teacher and Emily really liked her.  I am sure Colby will like her too.  

Emily's teacher is Mrs. Farnsworth!  Yes and her name is Tiffany Farnsworth too.  Yes people get us mixed up all the time.  Emily was excited to get her for a teacher and I think she will be a really great teacher this year as well.  It will be easy to remember her teacher's name at least!

When Colby and Emily got home from their first day, they said they had a good time.  They were glad to be home but they did like school that day.  I think it will be a good year.

Logan started Kindergarten a few days after the big kids.  He was kind of mad that he couldn't go when they did because he was so excited to start kindergarten.  He had been counting down the days until kindergarten ever since preschool graduation.  Finally it was here!

Logan has afternoon kindergarten so it is just these two at home in the mornings with me.  They are so good together and get along so well.  It is fun to hear them playing together.
Finally it was time to go to school for the first time.  We decided to walk up to the school for the first day and this time we walked with all of Logan's friends and their mom's.
Of course we had to get a picture of the gang in front of the school on their first day of kindergarten.  Logan, Jayden, and Eli are all in the same class while Eliza is in the other class.  

Logan's teacher is Mrs. Kendrick.  He already loves her.

Here he is on his first day of school.  At his desk, by his friends, and picking out his name.  Logan loves school!  When I asked him how school was when he got home, he said it was so fun.

I guess that just leaves me with this little girl:

Charlotte is the only one home now... *sniff sniff*  Where has the time gone?  It is good to just spend time with her alone though and she is pretty fun.  Usually though she is taking a nap so it is just me.  We did have a good time on this first day together though.  Reading stories, taking selfies, and rocking in the chair.  

Happy first day of school!
