First day of school!!!!!

How is it even possible that my baby boy is old enough to go to kindergarden??? I am just at a loss! It seems like yesterday I brought home this tiny, screaming baby, and now he is in all day school!!!!! AGHHHHH!!!! How did this happen????
Ok, so I'm happy that my boy is growing, and yes, he is MORE than ready for the challenges of school, but it is just hard to believe! Do you know where I'm coming from???? Well anyway, Chance is now in kindergarden. He gets on the bus at daycare with 4 of his friends. They are the last kids picked up and literally are on the bus less than 5 minutes. After school he rides the bus back to daycare and is there for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. So far he is loving school and really likes his teacher, Mrs Smith. Now come on, how many of us had a Mrs Smith for our teacher??? Probably everyone!!!! So anyway all is good. I'm adjusting to having a grown up school aged boy and am not crying anymore every time I think of him in class!! (It's the hormones, don't roll your eyes!!!!) HAHAHA. Of course it doesn't make me feel much younger, Avery started preschool this past monday! I have 2 school aged kids!!!!! Anyway, on to the photos!!!

Here is Chance and Avery on the back steps on the first day of school! Yes Avery had to bring her backpack too, eventhough she didn't start school that day!!!

This is the fab 4!! The four daycare kids that all ride the bus together. Grace, Caleb, Chance, and Brenden!!!!

Here is Darla, the daycare director walking the duckies across the street to get on the bus!!! I know she would be very happy with me for putting a picture of her rear on my blog! NOT!!!

Crossing the street....

Waiting to get on the bus....

Boarding the bus...

Waving at mommies and daddies...



And now getting on.

Here the kids are walking to their classrooms!!! Look how big they look!!!

This is Chance's class. I am carrying the 10pounds of schhol supplies he needed for school. His backpack had 2 empty folders in it!

We are waiting for his teacher to come and tell us all about school!!!

This is a whole room shot of all of us mommies and daddies and kids in class.

This was the class' first story time. They read a story about a raccoon's first day of school. Yes I cried, don't laugh! Chance is being blocked by the kid ib the red shirt. Chance was VERY excited about story time.

These are not school photos. But we went to Biaggies, one of our favorite places to eat and these photos where too cute not to post!!!!
