Today was the first day of school!
Let me just tell you it was a SCARY DAY.
Last year Hayley went to a charter school with less than 150 students.
(and Gage and Hannah were homeschooled)
Today it was public school with nearly 1000 students.
It's an understatement to say I was nervous.
It probably added to my nervousness that Gage wasn't excited about going.
(can you tell?)
He asked several times in the past weeks to continue homeschooling.
After we walked Gage to class and got him situated
I asked him to smile for a picture.
This is the best he could muster in his own nervousness.

But all my fears were in vain.
The kids couldn't stop talking the entire way home,
telling me all about their day and all the things they got to do.
Hayley is in 3rd grade and Gage in 1st
It's going to be a fun year!
Now if I can make it through Friday sending my baby girl to kindergarten :(

I always have a hard time on the first day of school. I always tease and say I'm going to homeschool them and they scream NO!!! lol I'm glad they enjoyed it. Public schools aren't all that bad (that's because I use to be a public school teacher). Here's to a great year!
So glad they had a great first day! It's always scary sending those little ones out there- but they manage to survive and thrive!
Down to one at home... good thing you're adding another to the family. We wouldn't want you to get too bored! :)
I'm so glad things went well for them today at school!!!! It was fun to see you guys at lunch! I'm also glad I found you're blog :o)
