Back to School!

This goofy kid is off to 7th grade!  He was nervous because his 1st hour and 2nd hour are on totally opposite ends of the school and he was paranoid about being tardy.  He made it though!  He said it was a boring day, but I could tell he enjoyed being back.

Look at that sassy leg pop!  She said that her teacher, Miss Nelson, was so nice!  She told me about her whole day with such excitement.  I am so glad that kids can adapt to change so well, because this year sure isn't starting out like normal!

These 2 love their new backpacks!

Luke had to have this shirt when I saw it.  He is always picking up trash (gross, I know) and saying "I am doing good and being kind to the earth!"  And little Lex just had to have a dress.  It fits her girly personality!

How many more years do you think I can get away with dressing them alike? I let them pick their own shoes and they had the option to wear different things, but chose these shirts.  So it was their choice, and I love it!!

Masks...so weird.  Casey & I talked about what we think things will look like by Christmas.  No masks, school normal again.  Covid-19 numbers will spike and we will be online school 100%.  Masks & social distancing will still be in play and that will be the new normal.  Day by day is how we are playing it for now.  Just praying they all have healthy immune systems.

And these 2!  From Preschool to. . .

. . . 7th Grade!  Time is a jerk.  But man, I love these kids.  They were standing on the same step, and Caleb stepped up on and said, "Be sure you don't get our feet in the picture."  LOL!  He will grow, but I like him little.
