Well school officially started today!! I know that I was ready for it to start, but in some ways I was a little sad cause Kode starts school at a different school, where he rides the bus. This is where I have to cut the apron strings and let him become independent. Its so hard to see how much he has grown up over the years. But he was so excited for school. Anyway here is how their day went!
Kode ready to start the 5th grade at Flag View Intermediate School!
He has been so excited to start school for about a week now. He made sure he had his cloths picked out the night before. His shoes were ready to be slipped on in the garage and his back pack was hanging on the chair in the kitchen just waiting for him to grab it as he walked out the door.
He was up at 6:45 to brush his teeth, get dressed and down stairs shortly after that to eat some breakfast.
Some of the neighbor kids were knocking on the door at 7:20 this morning. (the bus doesn't even pick them up until 8:05, but they wanted to make sure they gave them selves enough time to get to the bus stop before the bus showed up)
(I had Kode and some of the neighbor buddies take a walk down to the bus stop to see how long it would take them and they timed it and it took them 4 minutes and 43 seconds. So 45 minutes was a little extreme but what ever they wanted)
Anyway, after hanging out at our house for 10 minutes they were on their way to the bus stop!
(hey I have to say I did great! I didn't even cry when I was watching them walk down the street to catch their bus. I am so proud of myself)
So here they are on their way home from their day at school. The kids said their walk is a little brutal up hill in 95 degree weather but they made it!
Kode said he had a great day! He really enjoyed riding the bus and the school lunch was great! He ate a hot dog and 2 pieces of fruit! (that's great for him since hes such a picky eater)
He said he thinks he is going to like his teacher and he has a few friends from last year in his class. So that made him feel a little better to go to class. So I think its going to be a good year!!
So here's Bry! He is somewhat ready for 3rd grade! He on the other hand is not as excited as Kode. He had a rough morning. He actually got out of bed very well. (I was a little concerned cause most of the summer he has been getting out of bed around 11:30. So 7:00 am was asking a lot from him) But after the neighbor kids knocked on the door for Kode he got very emotional. He cried and cried and cried most of the morning. He just wanted to go to school with them. He wanted to ride the bus and he just didn't want to go to the baby school any more. He kept telling me! When it was time to drop him off he really wouldn't say goodbye cause he was a little upset at me. (we have been talking about Kode going to a different school then he goes to now all summer. So its not like this is a new thing) Anyway he had a great day. When I picked him up from school he said he likes his teacher, and he has some friends in his class that he had last year. So all in all its going to be a great year for him to!
So when he got home he had some homework to do and I had to fill out some paperwork for the school. Well on a few of the documents he had to sign them to. So I read what he would be signing then asked him if he would sign on the line. He said "no I really don't agree with any of that and I don't want to sign it" I looked at him and started to laugh. Luckily he was just joking. I swear he is Mac's kid. I sure didn't give my parents any flack!
Anyway so here begins a new school year! I feel its going to be a good one!
