Evan and Luke's First Days of School

The last pic is actually Evan's first day of school on Wednesday but Luke had to put his backpack on and get in the picture. Evan is really excited to be going 5 days a week to school and I can already tell though he will be tired and grumpy while he re-adjusts, it is going to be great for him since he likes routines. Our mornings are actually smoother now that we have to be somewhere everyday and we do the same thing....like no TV till after breakfast, teeth brushed and chores done.

Luke started today. He woke up and wanted his backpack, to get dressed and get his new shoes on. They were both excited it was his first day. It was hard to get good pics because as you can imagine no one wanted to stand still.

We dropped Evan at his classroom first and then Luke. When I took him in, he started to play with something and was happy until he realized I was headed out the door. He had a full crying fit and when I peeked in after I left he was on the floor screaming and crying. I was totally ready for him to go and expected there to be a few tears but it is still a little heart wrenching to see one of your little people so upset because they want to be with you. Luckily, today was the shorter day of his 2 so they were just there till 12PM.

Daddy is OOT so I had to run when I got home from dropping them off and it was delightful to run mid-morning during the week without a heavy jogging stroller.

When I picked them up, they told me Luke only cried for a few minutes and had a great day...well he hated getting his diaper changed, but that's how it is at home too;)!

He blabbered on and on in the car about Ms. Peggy, Ms. Peggy, Ms. Peggy...she is the aide to his teacher. He loved " the park"...the playground. The boys got McDonalds for lunch a first day treat! All in all a pretty good first day! Daddy will upload the video when he returns and I will add it.

A hilarious sidenote: Evan still has the BIGGEST crush on one of the teachers...Ms. Autumn. She didn't teach this summer so I thought it would dissipate but not a chance. He told one of the other preschool mommies at soccer last night that she was going to come live with us!LOL
