12 more years til college...

Today marked this first real day of Austin's educational career. Day one of kindergarten!! So cool. He marched into that kindergarten room like he owned the place. He came home all smiles and even told me about his day. I think it's going to be a great year. And this morning I had to wake up all 4 kids to get ready - it was like sweet revenge after having them come in and wake me up every single morning for the last 5 and 1/2 years. It was nice to be the one to jiggle them awake this morning and tell them to "rise and shine"! The morning actually went very smoothly and I had everyone ready to go on time. We'll see if day 2 goes as smoothly as today did. Austin told me this afternoon, "mom, I didn't know you were going to leave me there that long." Funny, they only had a half day - wait til Monday kiddo!! And the very first comment at pick-up, "mom, we go to have recess!" Ahhh to be 5 again...
Here's Austin finding his name to hang his backpack.

Hangin' with his buddies, Emma and James W.
Cheesy smile at his desk.
Time to get to work kids!

Here's to a successful school year!!
And now if preschool would just get started...not til Sept. 7...
Cheers!
