The bags are packed; the outfits picked out.
The kids- thankfully beyond excited.
Today is my kids' first day of school. Lucas in second grade and it's Alex's first day of kindergarten.
All weekend they have been wishing for time to go faster as they can't wait to start. I am very thankful for that as otherwise I don't know how excited I would be.
You see, I remember the homework. I remember the excitement of getting ready in the morning quickly wearing off.
But right now they don't remember that. All they know is excitement.
Here's hoping it lasts.
First day pictures to come on Wednesday.
Tomorrow is a special day as it is your chance to link up again with Janette and I for the #Photoaday recap.
Share your pictures tomorrow from July, we can't wait to see them!
I remember the excitement of all that! So fun! I also remember how tired I was on the first couple of days because I wasn't used to being in school and using my brain so hard all the time. lol
ReplyDeleteI used to love starting school each year...loved getting new shoes, backpacks, pencils, etc!
ReplyDeleteI hope they have a great day!! I bet Alex is ecstatic, isn't she?
ReplyDeleteAllison is beyond excited about starting school this year. As for Ryan it's a whatever lol He is just not looking forward to getting up early to log into class.
ReplyDeleteAlthough we still have a few weeks before school starts, the excitement is already building for my little girls. The teenage boys, now that's another story!
ReplyDeletewow first day of school we have 16 more days of summer vacation can't believe how quickly time has gone by
ReplyDeleteI hope Alex has a great first day of kindergarten! That's a huge step! I'm sure Lucas will do well...he is a seasoned pro at this in 2nd grade. :o) Lexie starts on Wednesday, so it won't be long for us, either!
ReplyDeleteHope the excitement doesn't wear off too quickly! Ethan's on week three and still as excited as ever. It definitely makes it easier on mom if they are happy about it! Can't wait to see the pictures!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you are back to school already.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's nuts your kids are already on their first day of school. I can't remember if kids around here start next week or the week of the 20th... but wow, it seems like they start earlier and earlier every year.
ReplyDeleteFirst day of school already..... geesh! I started the countdown here.... 26 days until mine go back.
ReplyDeleteMy kids have been back in school for two weeks already...it hasn't been good, because our summer consisted of too many late nights and outings. Anyhow, we'll get there...just on time to go off track again. That's the problem with this whole year round school.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait til school starts! LOL! You start early....
ReplyDeleteI will have my own taste of this as Bear begins preschool in just a few weeks.. it's like the weaning in process for me before he official starts school in a year or 2 ;)
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK!!
First day of school already?! So glad they were excited!!! I'll have to check out the photoaday link...sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteThe first day of school was always my very favorite! And if I'm entirely honest, I am DYING to go back in three weeks! School starts pretty early for all of you - or perhaps we're just late!
ReplyDeleteAlls I got to say about school is BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how soon a lot of people are starting school. The beginning of August just seems ridiculous to me. When are y'all done?
ReplyDeleteWaaay too soon to start! We still have another month of summer! :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad the kiddos are so excited for school - what a wonderful anticipation!
Oh that excitement last us about a week.
ReplyDeleteMy WW Leader gave me the "awww" when she found out my kids had not started yet. And you know, I'm good. It's been good overall. I like the extended summer. I even want to try and squeeze one more beach trip in! I am glad Lucas and Alex are off to a happy start! and I hope you enjoy the "down" time. ;)
