First Day of School

When I came down this morning, Mike had written notes to the kids before walking out the door *at 4:30 am*  I was surprised and so proud that my children have such a loving dedicated wonderful father!

Daddy's note to Lorén.  Lorén says, "Mommy, I simply can't read this.  It's too messy."  I then read it to her and she says, "How did you read that?  Oh yeah, you taught first grade and you can read messy writing!"

New Shoes that light up!  Oh ah!

I got up at 5:00 to make them a super yummy breakfast!  They got Strawberries and Cream pancakes ( made with buttermilk and whipped egg whites). 

1st Grader, Pre-Kindergartener and the little brother who REALLY missed his siblings today!

New Star Wars Backpack

His favorite part of the day was Snack time and Recess.  He did tell me he played some game where he put bubblegum on his shoe and sang a song.  I hope it was a classroom activity and not a gross made up game outside! You never know with him!

First Grade girl - Her favorite thing was playing animals outside with her friends.  She told me about a funny book she read and figuring out that she spells my name "K*I*M*B*E*R*L*Y"  "At first I spelled 'Kim' and then I figured out 'berly.'"  Lovely.

I just love this picture!

Lorén's Hello Kitty Backpack.  Are you shocked?

Let's Go!  Enough pictures already!

With Dr. Sandfort our WONDERFUL principal.

Lorén and her teacher Mrs. Smith.  This is Mrs. Smith first year here at Child of God.  We are so happy with her and are excited for a new year!

Zach with Mrs. Huning.  Mrs. Huning is a wonderful loving teacher.  She was so excited to see Zach and welcome him into the room.

Zach got right to "work" in the building and cars center.  It tore my heart out to just leave him but he was READY for me to leave so he could get busy learning!!
