I am trying to get back into this blogging thing, if it is just for myself to journal:) So here we go.
The first day of school this year was a little interesting. I am teaching this year and I teach across the state line in Nebraska. Well Nebraska City started school on August 13th this year. So my students have been in school for almost 2 full weeks. This was kind of nice for me because I was able to take the morning off to take my own kids to their first day of school.
Mercedes started Kindergarten this year. I can't believe it is already here. She looks so grown-up more and more every day. I just want her to stay little because she is super snuggly and loves to sit on my lap. I know that will all go away someday:(
We had to have a picture of the backpacks. Lincoln was super proud of his. When we were picking them out he struggled between this one and a Jurassic World one. At the store he was saying "this is really hard". I talked him into this one because I thought it looked cooler. This one makes noise like R2D2. Lincoln always mixes up the letters/numbers and it makes me laugh.
My handsome boy who is starting 2nd grade this year.
Walking into school.
This is Lincoln and his teacher Mrs. Murphy.
Sitting at his desk. He has 27 kids in his class, so I am interested to see how this year goes. He was in heaven to see all the books. When I asked him last night what he was most excited about for 2nd grade he said for reading, p.e., art, music and math. So pretty much everything:)
He was so done with pictures. He told me I was going to embarrass him. Oh man, I hate that we've got to that point. He used to hold my hand when I walked him into school and tell me when I forgot to give him a kiss. I suppose I can't have that forever.
My sweet Mercedes starts Kindergarten today.
Here she is at her table. Her cousin Bella is in her class and is sitting behind her today. Hopefully they will be good together. They can sometimes get mischievous together.
When I was talking to Mercedes last night asking her what she was most excited about she told me that it was to play with all the toys. And today she kept telling me how excited she was to play with all of her friends at school. She was not her old shy self. Last year was a hard start for her, but she is a pro now.
Mercedes and her teacher Mrs. Brandt.
