{Parker's Halloween Party}

The class party parade continued from Hayes's party to Parker's party! I always love to see the kids in the kids classes interact with each other and have fun.  They were really rather calm, surprisingly.

Enjoying all the goodies!

A little craft to keep them entertained!

{Hayes's Halloween Party}

Hayes had a Halloween Party at his school and I was lucky enough to get to go and celebrate with his class.  It was crazy and hectic so the kids didn't all change into their costumes, but they had fun none the less!

{First Day of School for Hayes}

Hayes started a new school this year which is two days a week all day (yay for me!) and he has not even blinked an eye as his transition.  He has 3 very special friends in his class and runs in to see them everyday!

 

I have a very special year this year having P in school all day and having Hayes home with me, but he loves feeling like he is a big kid and loves having his "own thing" to do.  He gets to pack his lunch  like his sister and carry his new cool camo backpack that I promise goes down to his knees.

Talk about independent, he begs me everyday to let him out the door so he can run in by himself.  This picture shows the long sidewalk just to get into the doors.  It's another long hallway, down some steps, and through another door to get to his class.  One day I told him he could go in by himself, but I snuck behind him.  I was busted and lets just say he was not happy with me.

We love his precious teacher who has been in the same class for 17 years! She is amazing with the kids and does some very special art and activities with them.  Hayes will be a great student and is very eager to learn.  We couldn't be more proud of what a big boy he is growing up to be!

{First Day of School for Parker}

Our first born started her First Day of Kindergarten this year and that was harder on me that it was on her!  She previously went to Pre-K at her school so she cruised right in and waved goodbye from her seat.  It was almost a blessing because although I was putting on a strong front, my heart was crushed inside.  I didn't cry (until later in the day) but we just gave her hugs and kisses and waved goodbye and left.  I truly felt like I left my heart in that school. 

All day her brother and I were looking at the clock, counting down the hours, and longing for her to be home.  Time stood still that first day!  We could hardly stand the suspense of what she was doing and hearing about her day.

I am so proud of our little girl who is all grown up.  She loves school and loves learning.  It has never been a struggle to get her to school and she has a great time while she's there, which for a parent is one of the best things you can ask for!

I can't wait to see what this year holds for our sweet Parker!
