Back to School, Back to School

That time of the year again. The kids and Brent are all back to school. My camera's battery was dead but if I turned my camera off and on real quick I could take one picture. So here they are.

Austin's first day of 8th grade. But more excited about football season starting.
Cara's first day of 4th grade. We are really lucky. She has her Aunt Heather again this year.
Can you tell she loves to have her picture taken.


Courtney's first day of 6th grade. She was so nervous with the whole locker thing. But seems to be loving it so far.

So the first day of school for the rest of the kids was hard on the twins. They woke up ate thier breakfast, got dressed and wanted to go to school. They sat with thier backpacks on most of the day. At one point they even tried leaving for the school. So I decide to call Erin and see if she would meet us at the Surf N Slide on tuesday. We had a lot of fun with Erin and Cami. So laid back with only two kids and there wasn't to many people there. I could of stayed there all day.

Ok so now for the twins first day of Kindergarten. They walked into the school and just waved. I had already told the teacher I was going to have a harder time than the boys. So she let me come in for a little while. Didnt help that a parent asked me if I was crying. Then I lost it. Brent even went with us. I think he even had a hard time. I have had a kid home for 14 years. So it is really wierd that it is so quite at home.
The sad part is I cried most of the day. I even went to Wal-Mart and when the checker asked me how I was doing today, I CRIED! I know, I am a nerd. But I do truely enjoy my kids. It is a load house but its my home.

Caon's first day of Kindergarten.

The long walk to school. ;)

The big blue slide. I have taken all my kids pictures here on thier first day of kindergarten.

I just love Cason's face on this one.
As for how the twins first day went. They were spent. Cason came home with a headache. Cason also said "Mom, School is so not cool!" I think they liked the second day better.

Oh Cindy....I'm teary eyed! If I wasn't stuck here, I would've taken you out to lunch! Brenton has really struggled the last couple days being so tired and stuff. It's a long day but the break will be nice this weekend.

All the kids look so grown up, especially the twins! We will definetly have to do lunch one day. I'm glad they had fun but I can imagine it must be so weird to have a quiet house all day and no one to go anywhere with you!

I can't imagine my littlest one going to school. You are so brave. Hopefully you will be able to volunteer and help out at the school more than you did before.

Cindy! It IS SOOOO sad to have a quiet house... People think I'm crazy for feeling the same way you do..... Hang in there! I find that if I write myself a list of "to-do's" I do a lot better...

Everyone looked so cute/handsome on their first day of school. Don't worry about crying...it has been three weeks and I still get teary eyed sending London to kindergarten. Take care!
