First day of school

The first day of school dawned bright and clear. The anticipation level of both boys was through the roof. When their alarm went off at 7:00, they jumped out of bed and into their clothes with hardly a hop in between. (Technically, their alarm didn't go off because the clock was set wrong, but when I woke them up, they jumped out of bed.....) When dressed they raced to the front room to start their scripture study. I'm not sure how much they got out of the scriptures today since I'm very sure their thoughts were on school most of the time. Once scripture study was done Brandon moved on to piano. Intermittently playing scales and songs, he was able to keep on task barely long enough to get in his 20 min. With piano finished, we all sat down for a nice, 1st day of school, breakfast of pancakes, bacon, and orange juice.

And then it was time to go!








The whole family walked the boys to school. It was extra special because Robert was able to take some time from work and be with us. Isn't this the cutest picture of Daddy and his boys!
I got to take Brandon to his first day of Kindergarten, so it was Robert's turn with Sean. Here's Robert waiting in line with Sean when it was time to go in.

Then Sean worked on his headband - so the teacher would know his name. And drew a picture of his favorite thing to do - jump on the trampoline.

After doing the headband and the picture, it was time for a story, "The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn. Pretty much every parent of a kindergartner has heard/read this story and either teared up at it or tried very hard not to. Not that the kids seem to have that problem.

And then it was time for the parents to leave. Sigh....
