first day of school

This sign made me smile, they always have something goofy up there!

These boys should be models, look at that pose! *snicker*

I had to laugh a bit while getting Jonah dressed for school today because it's part of the "uniforms" to wear a belt. I think Jonah has been wanting to wear his own belt since he could walk and has worn one of Daddy's or Caleb's on many days, usually on sideways or backwards. So today was his big belt debut, and he was stoked!

Outside of Jonah's class are their cubbies and as I hung up his backback in the one with his name on it some big tears welled up in my eyes. Mixed emotions of sadness that he's so grown up and yet excitement for him for being so grown up (do all kids want to be all grown up?) and will love school. His cousin and several of his friends are in his half-day kindergarten class. The oh-so-smart teacher had Jonah and his cousin assigned on opposite sides of the room :)

Caleb's class had many familiar faces in it also and we're so excited for the teacher that he got!

After we dropped the boys off and got into the van, Tessa said "what about my class?" She was disappointed that she wasn't going to school too. She starts Mother's Day Out once a week in 2 weeks, so she and went shopping and bought her a Dora backpack for when she goes to school. (I got a new cute purse, also, but this post is about the kids!) This made it all better...for now!

We had a great summer, now here's to a fabulous year!!!
