First day of school!

Ugh. I am usually ready for my kids to go back to school. This summer, however, went too fast! We did a lot of fun things but we didn't camp enough, get to Yellowstone, or go on enough adventures. Oh, well. It was a great summer regardless. I haven't ever cried when dropping off my kids at school but I did tear up today. I don't know why this year is different but for some reason I felt like I was throwing my kids to the wolves this year. They have a great school, wonderful teachers from what I've been told, and good friends but I definitely am a protective mama and have a hard time when I can't be with them. Of course I need my own time and they do too but when I am with them I know who they are talking to and what about etc. I know I need to let them grow up and I am, but it was hard to let go today.

They came home so excited and told us about their day for about 1.5 hours! :) It was cute to see their enthusiasm. KateLyn loved being at school for the "WHOLE DAY!"She even got to eat school lunch!!! Yum, I think. :o

Zachy did much better than I expected. He just followed me around all day like a little puppy but he was very mellow most of the day. We'll see what happens when I start babysitting my friend's son tomorrow.

Ryan had his first soccer game tonight and it was pretty dang fun to watch. At his age they are getting to be pretty good! He had a couple of great steals and he was sure worn out when he got home.

Here's to more great days at school!
