First Day of School

School has started again for the kids over the last couple weeks. I was ready for school to start just so we could be to some sort of routine again. But at the same time it means my kids are a year older as well. I think we all wish we could keep them small, but that just isn't possible. So it was a little bitter-sweet. They were all very excited to go back though. (I don't know if they feel the same now with all the homework. Monday night takes us hours to get it all done.)
Hailey started 4th grade, Hunter 1st, and Harbor started preschool just this last week.

Hailey
Hunter

Hunter had his birthday the day before school started so he got to take his birthday poster and celebrate on the first day.
Harbor started Preschool this last week. She goes 3 days and gets to ride the bus. I wasn't sure how she would do because she is my child that struggles with change and new things just kind of freak her out. But she did awesome and jumped right on the bus. She loves school and was mad on Friday when I told her she didn't have school that day. She couldn't understand why Hailey and Hunter went and she didn't. So sweet. Sending my baby to school was a little hard. My other two I was excited for, but sending her-knowing she will probably be my last--was difficult. We are entering another stage of our lives with all our kids in school.


She was so excited!


Off we go on the bus!
I hope you all have a good year in school. Remember mom loves you!!!

Hi Wendy...
I just found your blog. Your kids are so darling. I can't believe how big they are getting. Does it seem crazy to you that you have a
4th grader? What a cute family you have!

Yea!!! You finally did it! Very cute. Now we can keep in touch better than we have been lately. Your kids are getting so big. I still haven't done my back to school post, ya, I'm a total slacker. Good job on the pickles. That is one thing that I haven't tried yet, maybe someday. We REALLY did miss you camping. Next year we will do it again and hopefully have everyone there. We had a good time, but it looks like you got a lot done at home. I love the new paint job. That is the same color I have in my upstairs bathroom. Love it. Lis

Thanks for the tips on the quilt. I really just need to jump in and get it done! I totaly don't mind if you check out my blog and thanks for commenting.
I can not believe how big your kids are, they are darling! Is it just me or does it just seem weird that we are all grown up and have our own little families?
I love the bathroom makeover, the shower curtain is so cute!
Anyway, thanks again for the tips, Monica
