Monday August 25

First day of school!!!!!

Yay!

It was a great day.

I have to say, it was a great feeling being up on the roof after they were all off to school.....knowing that they weren't in there fighting, or making messes, or watching hour after hour of TV!

Everyone was excited to get there!

I hope that excitement continues :)

We dropped Cassi off in class first.

Took a picture with her teacher and then the student teacher said "Cassidy???"

She knew Cassi....she was her student teacher in first grade at Paramount!

I was impressed that she remembered her.....

She said she remembered how sweet she was.

And Mrs. Harvey said "That's why I sat her by Donovan (he is a special ED kid in her class) because she is always so sweet and helpful to him."

A mam loves hearing this kind of stuff :)

Cass is a pretty great kid, she makes me proud.

Then we took Elsie to class.

She was so excited...and wanted to be sure to take a picture with Mrs. Janzen so Emmy could see her.

So, there ya go Em :)

She helped Mrs. Janzen open the door to let the other kids in, and we were off.

She had no problems.

Then we saw max and Vern waiting outside the kindergarten room.

We went outside with them to the door for the kids to line up.

I could tell he was nervous....but also excited to get the kindergarten thing started :)

He is so gosh darn cute!!!!!

Then we got home and up on the roof.

WE ARE SO CLOSE!!!!!!!

It kills me to not be done yet.

Kills Brent even more!

We are down to the final stuff....the little tedious stuff.

Around the windows, and the caps on the tops......

But it is coming along.

But I can tell you, we will be VERY HAPPY once it is done!

After school, and after cross country pick-up, we had dinner and then headed outside for some FHE.

Family garbage pick-up FHE :)

There is so much trash around the place....scrap shingles, scrap wood, plastic....

So we got stuff cleaned up.

Dad made some pokers for them.

They all thought it was pretty cool.

Then Bubbles told us she needed the kids to come over to help her with her ice bucket drop that Brent nominated her for.

She is so cool :)

We just love her!

 

 

 

You better believe that's a buffalo on her shirt :)

 

 

We saw Mrs. Chris as we walked in the school.

We just love her.

She isn't Elsie's aide this year, but we will still give her loves when we can :)
