What a big day!! Carson and Madelyn had their first days of school today. It was a busy morning with Carson having to catch the bus by 7:30am (oops, we missed it). and Madelyn starting at 9am across town. We drove Carson to school and got him settled into his classroom. He is lucky to already have a good friend and neighbor, Dylan, in his class to make the transition a bit easier. We watched him get started on his coloring project and and then it was a quick hug, kiss and goodbye. Then we were off to take Maddy to school at Valley Christian. She was excited to go until I told her that Mom wasn't staying. Broke my heart to see that smile turn to a frown so fast. She quickly got over it when she learned that she was going to paint....woo hoo painting!!! Bye-bye Mom!!! Then it was a quick trip to the gym for Mom and a race against the clock to get back home before the bus drops Carson off at 10:50. I made it. It was so cute to see his little head poking just above the window on the bus and smile as he saw me waiting for him in the driveway. He had a great day and said he made a lot of new friends. Recess was his favorite part-surprise, surprise. Then we had to rush back to Madelyn's school to pick her up by 11:45. She was busy playing with Flubber. For those of you who don't know what flubber is it is a weird wet, but not wet, plastic-y, Glue-y, substance that the kids just love. After coaxing her out of the classroom, we stopped at McDonald's for lunch and home for a nap before Carson's soccer game tonight. Whew....busy day. It has been a blast so far. What amazing little kids we have. I just can't believe I have two kids in school already.
She's all ready to go. She was ready before Carson even got out of bed!
Too cool for school, mom.
