Back To School

The kids started school this week! Kensie started the day before the boys because they have a day for just the 7th graders so that they can get used everything!! We went to the back to school night and spent 2 hours walking around finding all her classes and trying her locker {it only took her 20 minutes to figure out how to open it!}, so she felt pretty good about starting school.

 

 



 I was pretty emotional about her starting middle school! It's a scary thing, especially in the world we live in. I can't protect her from all the bad things she will hear and see, but I know that she is a strong girl with strong values. She has good friends and a wisdom that I never had at her age. I know she will be fine, and she was so excited after her first day that I got excited, too! She is loving it and that makes me happy :)

The boys started school the next day. They were excited to meet their teachers at the school open house.

Jackson, my big First grader {weep weep} has Mrs. Nielson, and was super excited to get a Twinkie from her!

Lincoln has Mrs. Ratliff for Third grade. I think he will do really well with her, and he was excited to have his friend, Connor, in his class (they have been in the same class since Kindergarten!).

 

Now it's just me and these little buddies all day! I think we'll survive ;)
