Back to School 2012!!!


The kids were excited to start school on Tuesday! 
(Except for Wyatt.  His preschool begins next Monday.)


Your sign is upside down Josh!  Huh?
Ladies and gentlemen, our second grader!



Claire started kindergarten at the tender age of 4... it was hard to let her go!


 Full day kindergarten!!!
(sniffle)


   She loves her new big girl horsie backpack!



Like I said, Wyatt did not actually start school today. 
But who were we to halt his enthusiasm!


He really wanted to hold his sign!  
And his foam W.


And if he manages to succeed in potty training this week,
the preschool might let him in!  haha
(we're working on it.)



   Off to school in the Gilbert-mobile!


I can't believe Josh is in grade 2!  
This is going to be a big year for him.
His teacher has already told me that he is "Just lovely.  A lovely boy".  :)



Claire was anxious to get to her classroom.  
She dragged me away from my photo-op with Josh!  
"I can't be late on my first day, Mama!"




And although she was nervous to go to "real" school, I think she had a fun, but exhausting first day!
I'm fairly certain she will rock kindergarten! :)


And it never hurts to give your rookie teacher an apple on HER first day of school... 
Claire's class is her first class as an official teacher!! 
:)

I am already missing hanging out with my buddies all day. 
I am a lucky mom to have such sweet, wonderful kids!

TOO CUTE!!!!! I love how you do these pictures everyday. Man I miss you a ton. I was thinking about how amazing you are just the other day, wishing that I could have your good influence in my life once again. You really are a stellar lady and a wonderful little family. We will have to catch up soon. When Ethan saw Claire he said, "wow, I haven't seen her in a long time so I didn't recognize her." He still says he is going to marry her; its pretty adorable. And I really hope so because then we would be forever tied together. Love you woman!!!!
