The First Day

Yesterday was the first day of school for Mansfield.

Mason is now in the fifth grade and that means that he now attends

the Intermediate School.

He changes classes/teachers. There is also an A/B day schedule.

On B days he will go to PE and now they have to "suit out".

Connor is in the second grade.

Mrs. Whittaker is his new teacher and she is the sweetest thing!!

A soft, sweet voice and she's crazy organized and structured (woo hoo!)

And Kate is now in Kindergarten.

The beginning of the end.

And her teacher, Mrs. Diaz is a bit crazy like her momma!

They are going to have just too much fun!!

No wonder she doesn't want to leave and can't wait to return!!

I'm super excited about our teachers this year!!

I truly believe that they can "make it" or "break it"...

so, Thank You, Jesus for blessing us again this year with such AWESOME teachers!!

Students must be at school by 8:00. Kate and Connor can arrive beginning

at 7:45 and Mason at 7:30.

I woke up at 6:15 and got myself ready. Then started making

breakfast (pancakes and eggs by request) while

Michael got everyone up and running.

Somehow, we still managed to have to rush a little in the end.

So the pictures aren't up to my par,

but they're pictures none the less.

We always enjoy going out to eat on the first day so we can

just enjoy dinner and hear about

everyone's first day.

This year, Granda and Granddaddy joined us.

I'm so glad that we beleive that you shouldn't load up on sugar before bed time. :)
Oh well - they were happy to go to school again today...
