Yesterday finally came. The first day of school.
As much as Alex pretended he didn't want summer to end, he was ready and the excitement of starting 3rd grade was a huge incentive. He looked so big and so...3rd grade:
Liberty also Started Kindergarten but due to large classes, her first day was 12-2 and she doesn't even go back until Monday. She was very upset that she couldn't ride the bus and had to wait another 4 days for a "real" school day, but the excitement was infectious and she managed to ham it up while we waited for Alex's bus:
(Yes, she's only 5, Yes, she's done this naturally since 2 and Yes, I'm terrified)
They even managed to get along and pose for a nice picture together:
The bus finally arrived and I waved goodbye (tearful, I admit. I am such a sap):
Then we took Liberty to meet her Teacher, Miss Sweet (not her real name..but should be). She looked all sorts of adorable (insert multiple attempts not to cry -> Here) getting down to the business of being a Kindergartener (I am pretty sure that's a word..but spell check is saying it's spelled wrong...so maybe it's not!):
We even remembered a pic with her school sign:
We arrived home shortly before Alex's bus arrived, so I had just enough time to make the new year's first batch of After School Cookies:
And the school day ended in smiles, good moods and with a huge 'Thank you mom! YUMMMY!':
What more could you ask for in a first day?

How sweet! Your little 5 yr old girl is already a knock out. You oughta be VERY AFRAID! That hair is gorgeous!
Diane - WAY WAY too fast!! That 'brick in the diaper' you suggested just never worked on any of them. *sigh*
Mgm - LOL. Thanks :-) And I'm terrified. Trust me. Daddy's already stock piling shotgun ammo ;-)
If I go back to school will you make me cookies??? They look as my niece says double-d-licious!
Bee - I will so make you cookies..or I could just send you the recipe :-) And actually, they were the best I'd ever made!
OH my you need to watch out for Liberty! She is going to be a handful. You always tell a great story..with pics too ..its a great read! OH and I would LOVE some of those cookies
Mrs. Joe - Yeah, I know. But you're Rose isn't far off from starting to make you worry! Trust me :-D
Oh, this makes my heart ache. Having kids has made me such a more compassionate teacher! (BTW: the correct spelling is Kindergartner, is that what you wrote?? :-) Thank goodness for spell check!
I spelled broccoli and spinach wrong today at school. The kids laughed. Not good.
Smiling Mom - THANK YOU! It was driving me nuts because I knew it was a word but my spell check was saying it wasn't. ROFL. Guess I'll have to brush up on some things before I take on teaching English, huh?
As for the kids laughing, I think it's a good thing! It helps them know you are human and capable of making a few mistakes :-)
Adorable! And you lucky beyotch, yours started already...I have another week of hel, err, heaven left. Hahahahah
