First Day of School!

Bryson and Garrett started school on Monday! Bryson is in 3rd grade and Garrett is in 1st. They were both so excited about starting school this year. We set their alarm clock early and picked out just the right outfit, then I fed them pancakes. Of course, they had a few butterflies in their tummies (not to mention Mommy did too). I was especially nervous for Garrett to go to first grade, it is so much longer than kindergarten! But he did great! He loves his teacher and is excited that he gets 3 recesses every day and gets to eat hot lunch!

Bryson has really been looking out for his little brother. He has prepped him all summer with tips about first grade and what you really need to know. Its so nice to have an older sibling pave the way for you (yes, bros, thats what I did for all of you too). Bryson is loving third grade and is so excited about this year. His best friends are in his class and he was accepted in to the gifted and talented program that they start in third grade. So, he will be doing that two days a week too.

I am actually excited to get back into a routine again. Tanner is missing his brothers terribly and thinks school is way too long. The day gets especially boring when McKay takes his nap. But, I am enjoying having a little more one on one time with Tanner. He is keeping me busy with all of his "projects" he wants to make. Tanner will be extremely excited to start preschool in a couple weeks.

There is something about this season...a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils that makes me smile...(anyone who knows what movie this is from? . . . it is one of my all-time favorites!) Stay tuned to fine out the answer!
