When we moved last March we found ourselves in a different schools boundaries. It's really the biggest downfall to the move. I was actually devastated since our experience at Maple Lawn was so wonderful (well except the 1st couple of weeks). Anyway we finished up the year there and decided to move forward and to see what this "other" school was about. It's been a good experience so far-We went to Back to School night last week and met our new teachers:
 |
| 2nd Grade: McKenna & Ms O'Brien (soon to be Helm) |
 |
| Kindergarten: Tyler & Mrs Brennan |
 |
| Pre-K: Tate, Ms Maureen & Ms Terry |
School officially started last Wednesday, although much to Tyler and Tate's dismay McKenna was the only one to start. They were both a lil upset they didn't get to get on the bus with her.

(The ink was almost out-Sign says 1st day of Second Grade) |
This morning Tyler and Tate were thrilled to be joining the crew on the bus
My handsome boy Tate, who I didn't have nearly as hard of a time letting go this morning as last Spring. :)
3 out of 4 kids...2 days a week. Not sure who is more excited, them or me.
Funny Story: Due to this photoshoot-the girls missed the bus. By only a few minutes-Tate's bus was 10 minutes early and so we barely made that bus, although we almost missed it because I started to chase the girls bus and then saw Tate's in my rear view mirror. After getting Tate on his bus we drove around looking for bus 36. I had a Dr's appointment and didn't have time to drive them to school (which is 15 min away). Just as we were about to give up we spotted a couple of kids at a bus stop, so we asked them and found out they were waiting for the same bus. Out we jumped and got in line. The bus driver was not as impressed as I was. She's going to have to lighten up or it's going to be a long year. This will happen frequently...
McKenna reported a great 1st day of school reuniting with an old friend from her last school. She loves her teacher, gym and music. She was really looking forward to Tyler joining her.
Apparently it was a wonderful reunion of sisters. They were able to see each other at both recesses and loved being able to sit by each other on the bus.
Tyler couldn't talk enough about her first day of school. She got 2 recesses! She met a new friend named Mia, found a Mckenna and a Tate in her class. She went to gym and the teacher was really fun and had a hoolahoop that is apparently magical jumping kids and coming back when called. She was very impressed!
Tate-was thrilled to be on the bus...that's about all I got out of him. I think they might have talked about potty training at school. While we were eating lunch today I got a phone call and ran into the front room to take it. Tate was not where to be seen when I returned. I assumed he'd gone up to play with his trains as he often does. I was a bit alarmed to find him not in the house at all, and not answering my calls when I yelled out the door. A bit panicked Cooper and I went out looking for him. We found him behind the stables playing in the sand and dirt with his rubber mallet, big stick and barefoot. He was in his own little piece of heaven!
I think it's safe to say it was a great day for all!
