S-C-H-O-O-L Time

Wow summer really flies when your having fun! I cannot believe yesterday was the official back to school day in our neck of the woods. In reality, it was the first time to go to school for my 'big' boy Caden. Caden was so excited about starting Kindergarten. An example of his excitement happened a few days before school started. Caden was getting a drink at the fridge while I was on the computer. He said, "Mom your gonna miss me in 3 days. Bye mom!" Then he has proceeded to tell me later that I will be lonely. Yesterday after I picked the boys up from school I told the boys I missed them. Caden pipes up and says, "see mom I told you that you would be lonely."

It sure was quiet coming home yesterday! Yes, a teared up on the way home. My baby is in school now! My oldest will start college Monday, and Cameron moved to a new building for 3rd grade! I decided though once I walked through the door, I would take advantage of my day and get a lot accomplished. Oh, and I would for sure enjoy the quiet!

Here is Mr. personality himself before school!

No turning back now! Nervous excitement building...

After our last hug, he just jumped right in and started building "things".

Stop growing up would ya?!

Cameron wouldn't admit he was nervous. My 3rd grader didn't even want mom to walk him in. I couldn't believe it! "It's the first day of school, that is what mom's do." Sigh....Finally after parking at the gym due to all the school traffic he decided he didn't want to get ran over and wanted me to walk him in. His backpack was so heavy I carried it for him. When he got to the door (out of sight of his classmates) he gave me my requested hug and marched right in. I called him to get his backpack, no response. He had tunnel vision and only one goal, to get to his desk. I finally caught up with him after his teacher tried to get his attention too. Hmmm, not nervous at all?

They both said they had a great day. However, it was not MY Caden who made a gun the first day of school out of those Lego type blocks and got a warning. Oh no, of course not!

Here's to a great school year!
