First Day of School!

Yesterday was the kids' first day back to school -- and Bubba's first day in 'real' school. I can't believe that I have a 3rd grader, a 1st grader, and a Kindergartener {plus my little Bones at home}! Here are some of the pictures from the first day... before school. I took my camera to get some afterschool pictures, but with a heat index of 105, I didn't remember to take any. When I got home, there was a sweat line {TMI?} from where I had the camera slung across my chest to the back. Gross. Very, very hot and very, very gross.

Anyway, here are the pictures!

Cheese for mama!


Ready to GO! look how big their backpacks all look!

Bubba


Is this the look of excitement or what?!? Very proud 3rd grader right there!


Proud 1st Grader - who was happy to already know somebody in her class that moved here from Fort Knox too!


A little bit of a nervous Kindergartener (see his nervous hands?) -- until he saw other boys. Then, he was all "see you mom" :-p


Bones didn't understand why HIS picture wasn't being taken... so I snapped one of him next to Bubba.


It's only about 1/4 of a mile from our house to the school (via a trail through the woods), but it was hot. Did I mention that already (remember that sweat line?!?)? I made Bones walk on the way back -- at least, he walked the downhill portions. By the end, he was throwing his water bottle down and kicking it because he didn't want to carry it anymore. This was taken after one of those episodes. He wasn't really happy anymore.
