1st Day of School!

Wednesday, August 27th marked a very special day… it was the day that the boys finally went back to school!!!! haha No, I did totally enjoy Summer with them. But I (like most mothers I would assume) was also very ready for school to start again.

This year they both have fabulous teachers. Gabe has Mrs. Burt for the third grade. I don't know her personally, but every mom who has heard Gabe had her has responded with, "You are so lucky! She is the best!" Someone even told me they tried to switch their kid into that class and were denied because he class was already so full. Gabe has only had her for three days but says so far "She is sooo nice!"

Caleb has Mrs. McCoy for first grade. I DO know her personally because she is in our ward. I also have one of her daughters in my activity days girls group. She is also very nice I am sure will be great. Caleb already knew about half the kids in his class on the first day, because I think everyone in our ward who had a first grader also requested her! ;) Some of his favorites include Camri Call (our neighbor), Apsen (another neighbor girl), Benson (another neighbor boy who he already got invited over to his house to play since school started), and many more. So I am not too worried about him loving school. I saw Mrs. McCoy on Friday night when she was picking up her daughter from the activity I was in charge of and I said with a smile, "How do you like having Caleb in your class so far?" and she smiled and said, "He is quite the chatter box isn't he?" hahaha "Yup!" But then she added, "He is so sweet though."

So now it is just me and Avery every day from 8 am to 2:45 pm! I know she already misses them because she walked around saying, "Dabe? Dabe?" (Okay maybe she just misses Gabe…haha) Then I said, "They're both at school." And she was like, "Oohhhh….." in a sad voice. Hopefully we will find some fun things to do! (And I will still get a few things done with my Etsy shop somehow!)

Here are some pictures of the boys on their first day! (and Avery at home with me in my office with her stuffed animals)
