First Day of School

I SO forgot to take pictures!

I got three children in the car (Jacob, Becca and Nate) to leave for school at 7:00AM this morning!!! Their backpacks, school supplies (since they were forgotten at meet-the-teacher night while I was at Women of Faith), lunch boxes, and each child fully clothed including shoes made it into the van, but unfortunately the camera did not--and I wasn't going back.


***I would talk about the parking lot issues here, but that will have to be another time. ;) We were lucky to be able to get out of the car where we parked--lucky to get OUT of the parking lot altogether!***


Everyone was so excited to go back to school--even Nate brought his lunch box into the elementary school as I took Jacob and Becca to their new classes. Jacob is in the 3rd grade this year and Becca is starting Kindergarten and is probably one of the oldest in her class since I held her back last year. Once the Kindergarten parent orientation (boohoo/yahoo) was over, I drove Nate over to his new class at Mothers Day Out. He REALLY wanted to go back to his old class with Mrs. Waffa and was quite disappointed when I reminded him that he would be in Miss Stacy's class because he was a "big boy" now (you have to be potty-trained to go to Miss Stacy's class). After a big hug from Mrs. Waffa, he walked in with a little pout on his lips into his new class room but was soon engrossed in the little green tractor and farm set on the floor. He hardly said good-bye! He's just going on Mondays this semester because of the new Thursday Bible study that will be starting in September.


Kate, the luckiest 11 year old around (here), didn't have to be at school until 8:15AM, so Gabriel drove her over and dropped her off for school sometime around 7:45AM or 8AM.


It has been several months since I've had an entire day all to myself. The Lord is good! :) I/they made it!
