First day of school!

Cool backpacks!

Last Wednesday was the boys' first day of first grade! They were up and dressed and had breakfast without any difficulties (I just wish this was the norm!) We got to school and they were so excited to see their friends from kindergarten. They finally found out who would be in their classes and had a great first day of school. Matthew was so funny though before we left for school. As he was gathering up his backpack he says as he sighs "Please let the homework not be hard." I was trying so hard not to laugh. The boys were also each asked to hold the signs so their classmates would know where their lines were. It was the perfect photo opportunity for me to snap a picture!
The second day of school was kinda scary for the kids (especially Bailey). We were hit with major storms right before school let out. The tornado sirens were blaring so the kids had to get under their desks. Bailey was is Spanish and was very scared and began to cry. His teacher was very sympathetic and gave him a big hug. Everyone was safe and sound and the principle rewarded the whole school for such a good job that they will have an extra recess this week.
Friday Bailey was really clingy to me before school started. I am sure that he was scared that the same thing would happen again. Thankfully the storms did not appear again until that night and were not half as severe as they were the day before.
Both boys are really happy with their new teachers and their classmates. I am happy that we have gotten into the school routine fairly easy. By the way, so far only one homework assignment and per Matthew's request it wasn't hard at all!

Great pictures - Sorry to hear about the storms - hope all is well. We still don't go back til 9/4 - another week. We are all ready to go back to a routine - J said today after going to his school to get some uniform stuff, "I'm ready for school" - yeah well so am I!!!!
Glad the boys did well. It does sound like the storms made for a frightening second day. Glad as well.
these are great. The first week of school is always exciting
HOORAY for the boys! Glad all is well, even if it does sound kinda scary at first!
The pictures are very cute! I am glad everything is going well for them!
This is a bit late, but happy back to school for your boys! Does first grade feel any different than kindergarten? I'm glad that your boys made it through the storm! I remember those so well from living in the midwest!
Blessings & thanks for the encouragement to me about my kindergartener :)
