First day of School

Here are our official first day of school pictures.

I can't tell you how excited the kids were to go back to school.  I think Ladybug tells everyone she sees she is so excited to be in 3rd grade!

Of course I don't hear much about what happens during the day.  Just bits and pieces.  But they leave every morning happy and come home everyday happy.

 New backpacks.  Ladybug actually won hers at a soccer camp this summer.  It was such a nice backpack we had her name monogrammed on it and are using it for school.  And Batmans backpack I had put aside for when he last years backpack wore out, it was still in great condition.  But on Monday morning, he had a fit because of the way something fit in his old backpack so I magically brought forth this amazing new one and all was right with the world.

 New school shoes.  Even mama got new shoes!  Badly needed I must say!

 A little cat walk on the path beside our house.

 A little love. Not too much because it would turn into a fight.

 Ladybug so excited for the day.

 Typical Batman.

 This is about as sweet as I can get together.

 Well except for this one.  But there was no posing involved.

 Cuties!

 Ahh, the kickball game resumes!  Ladybug is up to kick.

 Batman is pitching.

 The whole group in the mornings.

 There are 16 here today.  At least one is missing and there are three more that get on the bus about 5 houses down from us.  Yep, a lot of kids.  But you have to remember....

We live in a subdivision that has 3 - yes 3 elementary schools and our school alone has 1070 kids in it.  so basically in a 2-3 mile radius there are that many kids.  And we are only one school.  Tons of kids and tons of family in our area.

 Some of the boys with Batman.

 Here comes the bus!

 My sweet pea!

Bye Bye!  Off they go!
