First Day of School

Today was the first day of school!!

We were all so excited . . .

. . .well, almost all of us. . .

But he finally got with the program,

complete with his new Elmo backpack!!

The boys had presents for their new terrific teachers. . .

. . .and were excited to give it to them first thing! 

Quotes of the Morning:

Taylor - "Man, I can't stop smiling!"

Timothy - "This is my last first day in elementary school..."

I was pumped to see my new precious second graders!

I have 17 students this year.

9 girls

8 boys

One of my boys wore a Blazer shirt today.

He told me it was on purpose! :)

Doing my favorite thing -

reading a good book!

Already hard workers!

I'm looking forward to a fabulous year!!!

The boys got a nice treat to end the day - snow cones!

Their Grandma Linda gave them a snow cone maker for Christmas

& they have been dying recently to break it in.

Well,we finally bought some of that syrup

you use on the shaved ice,

& lucky for them, their TeTe cranked it out and served it up.

Very delish & very much enjoyed!!

Speaking of my youngest sis Kosh (known as TeTe to my boys), I cannot say enough about how she has helped me the past few weeks!

She kept the boys while I went to school meetings & worked to get my classroom ready. She also helped with many of my home & school projects. :)

This week, she kept the boys when I returned to work on Monday, brought them to "Meet the Teacher" (since my own students were meeting me), helped me with several outfit & accessory choices, took Tanner to school this morning, then came to my school & helped me ALL day.

I love, love, love, & so appreciate her for all she's done to help me out in so many ways. I'm so blessed to have such an awesome & giving sis.

Thanks Doll! Love you!!
