First Day of School

Yes, the first day of school was officially many days ago, however, I spend 90% of my day commuting in my car, or finding somewhere to hang out in Layton all day long...(thank you my friends!) It has been hard to post. The kids miss being in a neighborhood where they have friends so it has been a great thing to start school and have a social life again.

Abby is in 1st grade, still shy, doesn't speak unless she has to, has lots of friends in her class, likes Mrs. Hansen, gets tired going all day, loves eating lunch with the big kids - even though she chose PB&J the first 3 days and she gets choc milk almost everyday, excited about having "real" homework and loves to put together outfits for school.

Josh is in 3rd grade this year. He loves being the oldest in the class, likes his teacher Mrs. Oliver, has 3 other kids on his soccer team in his class but not his "best" friends, excited to learn cursive and more times tables, happy to play hoops at recess again with his friends, still likes school lunch, especially Pizza Hut day, doesn't care what he wears as long as it is athletic!

Jantzen had an assessment day at preschool so I took his picture too. Mrs. Tiffany is his teacher at Alpha Bits Preschool. Tiff has been a friend of ours since we moved into Kays Creek over 10 years ago and she lives on the same street that we are now moving to. We love Miss Tiffany! I am really excited that one of my kids finally get to go to her preschool! Jantz is loving it and he is learning A LOT! His class is all boys except for 4 little girls. Poor Tiff - the morning class is a little "wild!" He has his two best friends Jake and Rayce in his class. He is having a ball. He loves the opportunity to be social and feels so grown-up going to school like the other kids. He says his favorite part of preschool so far is recess!

Being the FABULOUS mothers that we are, (our kids are soooo lucky to have us) Candice and I bought the kids some donuts for the first day of school and let them hang out and play a bit! It's been a long time since we've had Krispy Kreme in da' hous! I can't even believe I didn't get a pic of Hunter, KK's are his favorite! He was so excited to know they have KK here too! I made his day - I think he had three. What a great first day of school!
