First Day of School!!!!


So I FINALLY was able to get the pictures posted of my kids first day of school. I've been trying to do it since Thursday but first my pictures wouldn't download and then blogger was being lame so here I am...finally.

My kids started school this past Thursday and let me just tell ya how wonderful the past 2 days have been. I was so ready for them to go back and so ready to get in a normal routine.

But...enough about me. Jackson started 2nd grade and Natalie started Kindergarten this year. I think Jackson was excited to start school, even though he acted like he wasn't because being excited for school isn't cool. But he did tell me that he was excited to go to school so he could wear his new shoes. Isn't that a total girl thing? Anyways, he likes his teacher and knows some kids in his class so what more could a 7 year old ask for?

As for Natalie, she was bouncing off the walls with excitement. She goes to Kindergarten in the afternoon and asked me every 15 minutes if it was time to go yet. When we got to the school she was all smiles and was pleased to see her friend from dance, Natalie Z, in her class. She also told me she likes her teacher because she's pretty. Too cute!







Outside the school when I dropped Jackson off in the morning. The sun was really super bright so they all look silly but oh well.

Jack waiting in the gym to go to his class. They had all the students meet there since its a brand new school and actually wanted to make a welcome speech to parents and kids but it got too crowded so they ended up kicking the parents out before the speech.

Natalie outside the K doors. The little girl behind her in line is her friend Natalie.


The outside of the school. For those who don't know my kids are starting in a brand new school this year. Its kind of cool but also kind of not cool because they don't have books in the library or grass for the playground yet. They've been having recess out on the black top where they don't even have basketball hoops or tether ball poles. I asked Jackson what they did for recess and he said they ran around in circles on the black top. The visual of that made me laugh! Also, when we were waiting in the Gym I asked Jackson if he would be embarassed for me to take a picture of him with his teacher and he said that he would be. Too funny!

Alright, they are too cute! I can't believe how grow'd up they both are. I love that Jack said he would be embarrassed (I have no idea how to spell that) because everyday when I drop Tyler off and say "Give me a kiss," he looks at me like noway and somedays he even jumped out of the car like he didn't hear me! I can't believe he is embarrassed of me already.

I can't believe how big Jackson is! Natalie looked so adorable in the picture of her looking back at you. How did it go for you mom? Any tears at letting Nanny go to Kindergarten? Just curious!

The kids are getting so big! I like Jackson's haircut & the fact that he pretended he wasn't excited. It's good some people are excited to go back to school. I'm whining already and I have one more week! Not to mention I'm the teacher! Anyways, tell Jack & Natalie good luck with school!

Nicole said...

I can't believe she is only in kindergarten becasue I forget that her birthday is later than Marin's! I hope they are still excited after the first 2 days! :)

Okay so Jackson is a total stud! Watch out mama...the girls are going to be lining up at the door! And Natalie is so beautiful!
That looks like it will be a really nice school.

Holy crap! All this talk of school is freaking me out for next year with Madi! I know I hear that it's great to have them in a solid routine and it gives you some "me" space but man I am scared to death of it. But it's cute that your kids are excited to go so I guess it's definately a good thing...just a fear and milestone I'll have to conquer. Reading your blog gives me hope that I'll be able to get go when the time comes to send them into the world! :)
