Going to the Zoo

We had to take my car into the dealership to have some recall work done so while we waited we decided to go to the zoo. The boys were excited to splash at the splash pad. They were even more excited to see that LEGO was there with a display. Nathan loved seeing his lego set that was jumbo sized. It was a warm day but a great way to spend the time while getting things accomplished.

 

First Day of School

The boys did great getting up early on the first day back to school. They had plenty of time to even have a hot breakfast. Nathan was convinced that we were going to Chuck E Cheese and was rather disappointed when we pulled up to the school. He went into Room 7 like a big kid to meet his teacher, Ms.Mary. I was thankful that there were no tears on day one. They both had a great first day and Thomas was surprised that he had homework on the first day. The year is off to a great start for our boys!

One Last Day of Fun!

The kids got to pick what they wanted to do for their last day of summer before heading back to school. They decided on Chuck E. Cheese. oh joy. They each got their tokens and had a blast. They had to split their tickets and even decided to share their prizes. I was impressed at the newer games there, especially for Nathan's age. Afterwards we went to Chick Fil A and finished up some "wish list" shopping for Thomas' teacher. These days of summer are something I truly enjoy and cherish! I am very lucky to spend time with them over the summer.

Muscles!

Nathan was holding his babies in both hands when I helped him put on his pajamas. He stuck his arms through and got his babies caught in his shirt. He laughed so loud! He said, "Look at my muscles!"

Meet the Teacher

Thomas got to meet his teacher on Friday. Her name is Mrs. Fox. Thomas is already very familiar with her since he is friends with her son. He knows several kids in his class! Thomas is not in the main building this year. He is in the concreteables and they just got new flooring. (Which I hope will help with his allergies.) At the end of the day I got to go down to his classroom and see where he sits. I am so excited about the curriculum and all that he will be learning this year. It's hard to believe he's already in 2nd grade!

Practicing for School

On Friday, I took Nathan up to his school so he could drop his things off in his cubby in preparation for school. He wasn't very excited about going. He kept telling me he wanted to go home. He warmed up to the director and the cafeteria lady, but didn't really want to play with the kids. He got to watch them do circle time after their snack but was anxious to go home. He is in a new class this year. His teacher was home sick, so we didn't get to see her. I know that Nathan is going to love being there once he's back in the swing of things!

Every Friday is lollipop day, so we picked the perfect day to go.
