First Day of School 2012

FOUR in school this year!?!? It is so strange having one child at home. And, she is TOTALLY different alone than she is with a house full of brothers! When her brothers are home she is loud and crazy, just like them and she cannot do anything for herself. When she is home alone she is quiet and independent.

Caleb is in the eighth grade this year. He was ready to go back to school, but I think more so he could see his girlfriend and friends, than really to be back at school!



Isaac is in the fifth grade. He has some awesome teachers and was very excited to start school (unlike last year when he stressed about school all summer). He seems very confident this year.


Bryce is in the fourth grade. He was ready for school to start so he could see his friends.

Andrew is in Kindergarten. He has been way beyond excited. Since Christmas last year he has asked just about daily if it was time for him to go to school. Then his first day was the week after his brothers went. He did not think the day would ever come.

It was hard not to be sad about him going when he was SO excited about it. And, he still is! He came home the first day upset that he did not have homework! When he came home after school I asked if he was ready to forget school and stay home with me. He said "No way! You make me take naps!" I told him I wouldn't make him take a nap and he said he was going back to school. :( When they were out for the hurrication (hurricane vacation) last week he kept saying "we just started school and I already have to miss a week?"

I love that he loves school and I hope it stays that way forever!

Waiting on the bus. It was a toss up if he was more excited about the bus or school.

cutie :)

That smile is because he sees the bus coming FINALLY!!

The bus stops in front of him.....

And, then it LEAVES him standing there! He is saying "why did they just leave me here? Are they coming back?

They also forgot to drop him off in the afternoon. Then he had a bus change, and will be having another soon. But, he gets off a FULL HOUR EARLIER on the new bus (that is right - his afternoon bus ride was over an hour long!!!).
