School Update

Well, we've been in school for a month now. I think we're finally hitting our stride. I honestly think I had a harder time with the adjustment than the kids. They're up every morning, ready to eat breakfast at 6:30. I am still wiping the gunk out of my eyes and trying to get the coffee into my mug! Although it has altered our morning routine, it has been great. Samantha is growing and changing so fast. It's scary and exciting all at the same time. I love picking her up from school ever day and heading all about the details of the day. Right now her favorite things about school are: library, music, art, pe, workstations (especially smart board and computers), free play and writer's workshop. This week I started volunteering in her classroom. I get to go in once a week! I love, love her teacher, She's organized, friendly, sweet and great with the kids. Perfect demeanor for a Kindergarten teacher. No red flags when I was there-phew! It's hard when you've been a teacher not to judge! :)



Sammer gets these little books every week and brings
them home and reads them to Cole! So sweet.

I was super impressed by this. She drew this
all by herself! I don't think I draw this good!!!

Cole is also doing great at school. He absolutely loves it! He walks right in and is off playing. And last week he started going to "lunch bunch". This is on Thursdays-he gets to stay an extra hour and have lunch and more playtime with his friends. About five other kids from his class have been going, including his bff Tyler. He wants to eat lunch at school every day like his big sister but it's only offered once a week! Sorry bud.


After school he is pretty wiped out! Taking
this picture didn't even wake him up.
