Schools Back!!

Already back to school time! I now have 5 out of 6 children in school. WOW! When did I get so old?! Here are a few pics I took of them ready to head out to school.

Kaitlyn - Grade 7

McKenna - Grade 5

Damian - Grade 3

Catcher - Grade 1

They all really enjoyed their first day back.
















































































Today was Maiya's first "day" of kindergarten. It was only for an hour (staggered entry). She was so excited to go. She was also extremely happy that one of her best friends (Carter) was going to be in her class too. Carter just got back from vacation on Sunday night, and they have been going back and forth from his house to ours for the past 2 days. They can't wait until kindergarten actually starts because then Carter gets to officially come hang out at our house everyday (I will be watching him for the year). Here are Maiya and Carter just before we left.

Tyson went over to Alex's  house while I went to Maiya's school for the parent meeting, but not before a brother and sister "I'll miss you" pic.

Maiya all ready to go. I can't believe I only have one left at home.

This is in her class.

She was disappointed that it was so short, but loved being there! She also has another little boy from her Primary class in her class (Riley). They had half of the class there today, and half of the class will go tomorrow. Out of the, I think, 10 kids there...8 were boys and then there was Maiya and one other girl. Maybe the other half has mostly girls??

Kaitlyn had 2 very exciting things happen tonight. She got to pick up her instrument for band. She is going to be playing the trumpet. She also went to her first singing lesson tonight. She was so nervous to do this with a stranger, but he was great! Funny, and made her feel comfortable about being vocal. She is excited to go back next week!
