1st Day of School

                It happens every August, the first day of school. So how did it sneak up on me this year?  I think I was in denial, because my baby boy was starting PreK this year.  I wanted them to have a special breakfast today so I got up extra early so they could have sausage and cream cheese stuffed crescents and eggs.  Every one needs a special breakfast on such a big day, and this is right up there with Monkey Bread on their list of favorites!!

               

Yummy!!!!

                This year McKinley and Shane are going to different schools, so Jeremy went to Bitz with McKinley, and I went to Johnson with Shane.

            McKinley is in Mrs. Redford's class.  He was really worried about having a new teacher this year, since he had Mrs. Snyder for three years, but Mrs. Redford has been a perfect fit!

            Shane started the year out with Mrs. Thompson, but after a lot of praying and a lot of meetings we decided it was best for Shane to do another year of K.  He has Mrs. Allnutt now, and we could not be happier with her!  She is a perfect fit for Shane.

               Noah was not a happy camper the first day of school because, he had to wait a grueling three weeks before PreK started.  He asked everyday if today was "the" day.  He couldn't wait and I never wanted the day to come!!  I know he is not the baby of the family but he is my baby boy.  The very last of my four sons to start school.  On the first day he literally ran out of the van and up to the pole to meet his teacher.  I could barley get a hug and a good bye out of him. I would be lying if I said I didn't go to the van and cry my little eyes out after giving him to his teacher! He has Mrs. McNamera and is doing really well.  She tells me everyday what a joy he is to have in class and I am so jealous of her!!  I miss him so much while he is in school.

               I am so glad Bella's birthday falls after the cutoff so I don't have to send THE baby to school next year.  I don't think I could handle that!!  But of course she can't wait!!

P.S. here is a pic of BFs littles and my littles on the first day of PreK.  Noah and McKenna don't have the same teacher but there teachers do share a classroom.  I think it eased their first day fears, having someone they are friends with so close!
