First days of school! Our crazy week

Monday: Storybook Garden with Grandpa and grandma then drive home to GR- Rachel feels very sick

Tuesday: Rachel VERY sick, KEvin has to stay home and go the parent preschool meeting. No one else sick.

Wednesday: Rachel a bit better, no one else sick- Sam and Zeke to Nancy's house, Rachel and Josh go to his first day of preschool- just an hour with mom. Wednesday ends with no one sick.

Josh, 2009 - First day of preschool!!



Sam 2007- First day of preschool!!





Josh- wanted to make sure I stayed in the classroom but he had no desire to do the crafts with me. He wanted to play animals, trains, sandbox etc. Back in 2007 Sam never left my side. He helped with the pictures and then all he wanted to do was games and puzzles with me.





Thursday: No one sick. Boys go to Nancy's, Rachel goes to work. 3:00 pick them up, josh doesn't feel well. 4:00- Josh throws up all over the living room (another reason your house should always be clean- he hit EVERYTHING on the floor!) Josh takes a bath, then he plays and plays and plays. Then he says he is hungry- eats a banana and yogurt. Later everyone goes to bed. No one gets sick.

Thursday night: Rachel packs Sam's lunch for his first FULL DAY of school. Yes- she put an I LOVE YOU! Note in his lunchbag!

Friday morning: Everyone happy, eating cereal and ready for school!!

Sam waiting for the bus. He is soooo ready to get to school!



First day of Kindergarten!! All day!



Showing off their backpacks- they both wanted their names on it. Sam wanted a 6, and Josh picked out animals.



When I brought Josh to school Sam was out by his hook, so I snapped a picture! He was excited about his lunch (at 9AM....)



This is above Josh's hook- I am talented, huh?



Josh first day of preschool without mom. He acted nervous and asked me to stay. But he was excited about circle time, so he sat down and I waved goodbye. He barely looked at me! When I picked him up later he talked a mile a minute about everything they did. He loved it and can't wait to go back! (And he wasn't sick!- so glad he came!)






2007- Sam first day of preschool.



I will try to get a picture of Sam at 4:00 getting off the bus! Oh- and my morning with Zeke was GREAT! Grocery shopping with one kid? A marvelous experience!

You're lucky...I can't get Brendan to tell me about his day for the life of me!

Also, I noticed Sam and Josh are wearing the same shirt for their first days of preschool. Nice..=)
