We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then managed to grab a few pictures before the bus pulled up at 7:30 am. This was something that Jack was MOST excited about -- and Jimmy is devastated that he still has a few more years before he can ride the bus.
Samantha: 5th grade, Sophia: 2nd grade, Jack: Kindergarten
I typically buy each the kids new book bags and lunch bags every other year. The ones that I purchase are durable and we can typically get at least two years' worth of use out of them. The kids picked out their own patterns, as usual, and they are so adorable and fit their personalities perfectly.
Samantha chose hedgehogs; Sophia chose pink and purple flowers; and Jack went with camo.
Sam did a little extra embellishing with puff-balls and emoji clip-ons.
This is Jack's first year attending all day and eating lunch at school. He checked his lunch bag and approved of every last thing that I packed.
These girls were completely agreeable to sitting by Jack on the bus (in the front) for a few days. They really do love their brother even if they argue once in a while.
Steve went into work a bit later than usual so that he could see the kids off to school. They were happy to have him there and then were excited to tell him all about their that night. It's going to be a great year!
