First Day of School

 This year the first day school looked a little different with

only two kids to send out the door. In typical

Army style I was flying solo, as Mr. PC was away with work. I got up at zero-dark thirty to pack lunches and make our traditional back to school breakfast.

Someone was nice enough to get up early to eat with his little brother. He really is a good sport.

He even joined us on our walk to school.

Once the little one was dropped off we headed home to take Mr. Man's first day of school photos.

What we didn't know was this would be his only full day at school. At this point I still had hope that

the school would do the right thing. Unfortunately they didn't. He now only takes

Engineering, Spanish II, and PE (because of the weight room) at the high school.

I offered to walk him to school, but he politely declined my offer.

I got started on our back to school cupcakes.

I had a request for lemon cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.

I got the kindercones ready for the boys 

and headed to pick up Sweet Boy from school.

I got my end of first day of school picture and we ended the

day with our traditional back to school dinner.

Chicken nuggets and french fries. I forget to take

photos as I had to juggle diner and bedtime with taekwondo drop off.

All in all both boys had a good first day. 

 

1st Day of School

Today was the first day

of school for the kids.

The Diva is in middle school!!!

How is that possible?

It seems like yesterday

I was dropping her off at kindergarten.

 She was in a great mood and ready

to take over the world!

It is also her first time riding the bus

to and from school.

 This little guy was up and dressed before I

went to wake him up.

 He is silly and sweet and

was so ready to get to school.

 Sweet Boy was loving being the only one

home during the day.

After we got home  from errands

he turned into a total ham

 He was talking and laughing

non stop!

In Germany kids get a kindercone

at the first day of first grade.

The kids loved it so much

that I now do it each year on the 

first day of school.

 

 I did good this year!

Both kids had a great first day of school,

I got to work out, Sweet Boy got an amazing nap

and loved having Momma all to himself.

Let hope it is another great school year for the kids!
