Back to School

It is hard to believe that another summer is over.  School is back in session, and we are back on a daily schedule.  Monday we went to school to meet their teachers and drop of school supplies.  Briley has Mrs. Statham.  She is a younger teacher that just got married this summer.  They honeymooned at Disney World so Briley thinks she is going to like her.
Baylor got Mrs. Buescher, and she is a teacher everyone raves about so my fingers are crossed that it is a good year for him.  He has a few boys in his class from baseball so there were a few faces that he recognized.
Finley has Mrs. Liebach, and she has many years experience, but it is her first year at Mission Trail.  Finley is so excited to be starting school.
Tuesday was their last day home so I took them to Science City for the day.  After waiting in a ridiculous line to get our tickets, we made our way in.  It seems everyone thought they should go all the way to the Science store at Union Station to get their solar eclipse glasses. The kids had so much fun exploring, and Briley was finally tall enough to go across on the balancing bike.  They also expanded a new area outside that was really fun to play on.  It was the perfect ending to our summer vacation.
Wednesday morning was met with some jitters and excitement.  Baylor was dressed and ready to go by 6:30.  I made pancakes for breakfast, and no one really ate them.  We walked to school together, and took them to each of their classrooms.  I spent the day praying that they did well, and made some friends.  That afternoon I took Finley in for her open house.  She gave me hug and told me to leave which was funny because I wasn't actually supposed to leave.  It was just an hour visit in her room.  She is ready to get the year started. Little Miss Independent.
That afternoon, we picked Briley and Baylor up.  They both came out of school with smiles on their faces.  They love their teachers and their new school.  I hope that it continues to be this way throughout the year.
The rest of the week continued to go smoothly, and then we had a back to school party on Saturday in our neighborhood.  They had the firetruck come, and shoot water out for the kids to play in, and I must say it was pretty cool.  The kids had so much fun.  I think there were a lot of parents who would have liked to have worn their swimsuits too.  We met a few more people and the kids were able to connect with some kids from their classes that they didn't know lived by us.












These two love watching trains.
