Back to School..

Back to school time already.....and I actually have a kid old enough to be going to Kindergarten. My wild little guy is starting half day KG and starting a new chapter in his life. If you were to ask him if he was excited start KG he would say seriously "I'm not excited but I know I have to go learn and mom tell my teacher she doesn't have to teach me my letters because I already know them". Oh Ryker boy you crack me up with your seriousness sometimes.

Ryker at meet the teacher night.

Go Timberwolves

I made Ryker a crown and a special breakfast for his first day of school. He didn't think it was as cool as I did =) He gets embarrassed easy. It is not like I was going to make him wear it to school, I'm not that mean of a mom.

Waiting in line with is class.

Ryker's teacher is Mrs. Butler and she is so sweet. I'm so excited for him to be in her class. Shaun had to stop me from following them in the classroom. I tried convincing him to just take Amelia home and I would stay but he said I needed to let go and stop obsessing.

So we get home I had nothing planned, like I tried to all summer long so we played games with Amelia, playdough, beads and read books. Every 10 mins she asked, "wheres Ryker". I love spending some quality time with Millie, but she got bored as well.

So long story, but Ryker gets to ride the bus home. I almost cried when they told me that. So the first day of school we picked him back up but he was sad when we got there and we asked him what was wrong, "I wanted to ride the bus". So the second day of school he got to ride the bus for the first time. He loved it =) Millie and I sat in lawn chairs waiting anxiously for him to get home.

Well so far so good. This is all new for us, so getting into our new routine is great. I had to throw in this goofball picture. At bedtime they are so silly and crazy, while trying to get Millie dresses she ran off with the shirt on her head. For some reason we all found this to be the funniest thing ever and just chased her around the house laughing. I mean seriously, look at that face and that underbite smile of hers =)

Friday Amelia had her first playdate with her best little friend, Addie. Last year while I taught preschool, Addies mom watched Amelia. Well we had never had Addie over and let me tell you girls play SO MUCH QUIETER than boys. They were sooooooo cute to listen to as they cooked dinner, played princesses, dressup and played with the beads.

Addie brought over some fruit snack to share, she knows Amelia all to well.
