We had our traditional back to school feast (inspired by nie nie although I don't go as fancy as her). It is a fun night where we eat some good food, talk about our theme and then do Father's blessings. We had stroganauf this year, plus homemade rolls, corn on the cob, peaches and frozen hot chocolate for dessert. We were stuffed. We usually have the feast outside but it was cold that day. The kids each got a journal and eraser. They were excited.
Then the first day of school arrived. This year we have 8th grade, 7th grade, 4th grade and preschool! The kids were mostly happy to go back (ok only kindof). They got great teachers and I'm sure it's going to be a great year!
Preschool didn't start till the following week but so far, so good. Mack likes it I think and is starting to make some friends. He loves the playground the most and wants to play everyday after school-- it's hard to pull him away!
His school doesn't allow backpacks and that's why he has this little white tote.
The bigs kids of course headed off to middle school on the first day and I hung around with Macey until the bell rang.
She was excited to see some of her friends!
The best part of the year though is cousins to walk with and see at school! Between us, the Blodgett's and Danny and Christy we have 5 kids there and each grade represented! Yeah!
Heading out of Pawnee!
It's always bitter sweet sending these kids off. I hate not knowing all that goes on in their lives but I love watching them grow and learn and face challenges and overcome. I love the people they're becoming. Next year we have high school... praying this year goes slowly!!
