Yes, I blurred out their school name, yes, I know that I have made the blog private so their should be no pedophiles on the sight....seriously, how long have you known me and known about my obsessions? Come on, now.
His eleven newest buddies.....
CM's nervous face as he is leaving the "Good Morning" school assembly they have every day where they sing worship together and prepare for the day with prayer.
My first-grader...that is just nuts.
The whole fam....check out this classroom size....awesome.
Ridin' up in the elevator....almost ready.
Seriously, these two love birds know how to fight but man do they love each other madly/deeply. They are best friends. I was filling out an "all about me" book with RM the other day and one of the questions is "who is your best friend?" She promptly answered "bubby" without a beat. "OH," she said ...."and Juju too".
Yes, I got RM a present for CM's first day...are you nuts? Of course I bribed her that if she didn't cry then i would give it to her. And, absolutely I did it because I knew if she cried I would be a bumble-ing fool.
Rooters first day of school. Making cinnamon toast with mommy for her kids choice breakfast.
All dressed up in her first day of school wears with best friend number dos.
Her interpretation of a funny face.
Try to see if you can tell why she is grinning from ear to ear in these pics.....
someone was hiding behind her :)
A special guest popped in with a special first day of school treat....
I am a little delayed on CM's first day but it was fabulous. He is amazing me that he can do and comprehend so much. They do 2nd grade math in first grade but he is whizzing right along. He loves his teacher and his favorite parts of the day are: talking :), learning about Missionary Heroes, recess, and P.E. He gives me a blow by blow account every day after school and I love it. I honestly thought I would just really enjoy the day so much with RM and Jee that I would barely have time to think about how much I missed my big boy....not true. I think about him constantly. Rinn and I now have memorized where he is every moment of the day. It's funny, RM said right after lunch the other day "I bet bubby is in P.E. about right now." Sure enough, that's where he should have been.
RM is so cute when we talk about school. We started her a little later than CM started this year because we wanted to be done with our vacation. So, when I would ask her if she was getting excited about the first day of school she would always respond with a little hesitancy in her voice "umm...yah, ummm...I am going to homeschool though, right?" Implying that she would not under any circumstances leave my side and go to a school such as CM's "right mommy?" she would continue. Then, for the first few times someone would ask her she would say "Yes, I do pre-k in the afternoons at homeschool." Haha...the afternoons are Juju's naptime and is when we get most of her schooling done on the days that CM is in school. She is a smarty pants. It is fun to get a little time alone with the little red headed love of my life.
Look how young the big kids looked a year ago!!!!! I can't believe how much they have changed!!
Our newest little punkin'!......(this year)
