Logan, Maddie, and Megan survived their first day at their new school. They were all so excited heading off this morning. Megan kept giving me the countdown 7 minutes till we leave, 6 minutes till we leave, 5 minutes till we leave. . . . .They were all smiles when we headed out the door until I pulled out the camera to take their pictures. Then it was the collective groan and whine that if I had to take their pictures they were going to be late! (We had a good half hour!)
Here they are trying to smile!
This was my first school year of having to DRIVE them to school, but it wasn't as horrible as I had been dreading. Probably because their school is right next to a church building and they have permission from the church to let parents drop off and pick up in the parking lot. They even have a gate that goes straight from the school to the church with a crossing guard and everything! So while it's not as convenient as opening my front door and waving them goodbye, it's not that bad!!
When I picked them up Madeline was in heaven and told me she wished she could go back right now. Megan loved her class because her teacher will let them "chit-chat" during writing time. I held my breath when I asked Logan how is day went, but he told me "It went all right, I do have the best and nicest teacher." Whew!! What a relief!
Janie had to help drop the kids of at school this morning, so of course I had to take her picture with them. After we dropped them off she was got back into the van, threw her backpack on the ground and huffed, "Why do the big kids get to have all the fun!"
And to conclude, I have to say that today I turned 30!! I remember thinking as a kid that 30 was so old, but I don't feel that old! It was a great birthday. I went out to lunch with my hubby, got in a nap, did some Twilight reading, and sent Megan off to school. What more could a girl want!!

I'm glad you had such a good birthday! I'm excited for lunch today! Your kids looked absolutely darling. I loved their outfits and backpacks! That Janie is a doll, with her matching outfit too! Your such a good mom!
Lani,

Kyler and Kaden were upset the 1st day too, that we couldn't stay at the school and play. So glad you had such an enjoyable Birthday, you deserve it!! (oh saw angie's blog about you, so sweet, I love the pictures)
I am happy you had a good birthday! I am jealous about your nap. Actually, I too have been taking naps while the kids are at school. It is so nice when they look forward to going back to school.
Good to see you back!
It's good your kids were excited for a new school and that they had a good time. I'm glad you had a good b-day too. Now I know the date and wrote it on my B-Day calendar. Not that I ever remember to look at it until I'm a month behind. Any way. HAPPY Belated!!!! Glad your posting more regular too!!!
Your kids look so cute & I'm glad they survived their first day in school in Utah (and you did, too!). It sounds like a great birthday...the nap sounds like the best part!
I only kinda like Art City because, they have great teachers.
