Scenes From The First Week of School

Day Two Fun Lunch
Day Four Friday

Everybody was all smiles from start to finish this week! The brand new playground at Roo's school opened on Wednesday and on Thursday we found out the student with the peanut allergy grew out of it and we could send peanut butter again! Aside from refusing to wear his new shirts in favor of his old broken in ones Isaac's week was better than expected. Both my big kids had good notes home every day!

How cute is Roo's Mr. Pear? Isaac missed out because he only took his lunch Monday to humor me and not once since. It's a real high point of his year to be able to have breakfast and lunch at school. He also met his new in school gifted teacher and is excited to start soon. It turns out he'll be the only fifth grader which is kind of a bummer, but I dare you to try to dampen his enthusiasm.

When I picked Roo up today she had a hat (last picture) that said "Riley has 6 apples up on top." They read Ten Apples up on Top (one of my favorites!!) and had an apple taste test. They tried each color apple and then picked their favorite and that's the color apple they put on the hat. Isn't that the coolest?!? I love that. They also had a fire drill today, her first ever. She did excellent.

I'm so proud of my big kids! Where are they now? Playing secret spy at full volume in the backyard. I love how much they miss each other during the day. I managed a major deep cleaning project every day while they were in school as well as my normal housework and errands. That's saying a lot with a dryer that runs cold and nonfunctional car.

First week of school? We nailed it. Go team!
