BACK TO SCHOOL






It was a bitter sweet morning for me on the first day of school.  I was excited for the kids to start a new year but not thrilled about the rigid schedule that comes with school being back in session.  Here we are though so we we'll just have to make the best of it.

The two older boys insisted on getting to school by themselves (long boarding).  I think I can get used to this idea!

Brandon and I loaded up the rest of the gang and headed off to school.  When we arrived, Dawson looked at the camera round my neck and made some comment about how he needed to rush off before he would be late.  I knew that he wouldn't be late because we were early. The truth was he would probably be completely embarrassed to be seen in public at school with his photographing mother so I just let that comment slide. I resisted my mothering urge to scoop him up and plant a big kiss on his cheek I simply said, "Have a good day!" He rushed off with that and I didn't see him again until after school.

The girls however wanted their daddy right by their side.   I love the photograph of Britley hugging her dad one last time as her class was lining up.

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls! This is gonna be a fun week! Late night movies, pizza, chocolate cake and popcorn.  Afternoon and late night swimming.  Shopping bags galore.

BACK TO SCHOOL 2012.

Woa, I'm already school shopping?!  How is it possible that the summer is gone and school is upon us already?   I may not be ready for the kids to go back to school quite yet (I want more vacation time ) but they are.   Now that the kids have met their teachers (we got lucky, everyone is thrilled with their teacher choice) and have reacquainted themselves with friends they are ready to begin a new school year.  Britley is a THIRD grader this year. She is extremely bright and ready to get to work. Breeley is a FIFTH grader.   I can't believe it!  She makes friends easily and is happy to meet her "new friends". Dawson is in 8th grade.   This will be his last year of Jr. High!  Oh boy- I'm sure he will make it a memorable year (His poor teachers).  He happens to be the "funny kid" in school.  We've gotten to know all his teachers a little more than we would have liked to. Wesley is a Sophomore in High Sch
