1st day of school

here's some pix from the kids first day of school. i couldn't be happier with the teachers each of them got.
the morning ran so smoothly ... too smoothly if you ask me. the kids got up and dressed and served their own breakfast, all before i was even dressed - i guess they were excited about going to school.
tony prayed the night before that he wouldn't miss me so much that he would cry. well ... he held out until he saw me when i picked him up. (actually, as i sit here and write, i think he told me he cried during the day but no one saw him ... so many stories i heard tonight, i can't remember them all) ... anyway, he made it through, really liked his teacher and was happy that some of his closest friends from K were in his class.
jackson said that he liked his class and teacher but it was way too easy. that they did "an addition only math sheet. mom, can you believe it. it was like i was in kindergarten again." i assured him it would get harder. he really enjoyed getting back to playing tether ball.
lexi said that her class was all work and no play. sorry, kiddo, get used to it. she really likes her teacher. she says he is "really nice and lets them talk even when they are doing work." but when he says "some phrase" (i can't remember it now) all talking is to stop. i guess that works. good for him, maybe i should find out what that phrase is and try it at home, LOL!!!
my first day with all the kids in school full time ... well, i worked. i worked out. took a shower and picked them up. very productive.

... til next time ...
