First Day of 1st Grade

My little baby started first grade today.  He is going to be gone all day, what are we going to do without him that long and 5 days a week.  I always liked school until I had kids that were in school.  I was good and only cried a little, but I wasn't alone there were a few other mothers we talk to crying.  Matthew did a great job getting up early for his first time.  He looked much more awake then Molly, Max, or I.  Grant is used to getting up early so he was ready to go.




 I told him to turn and show is backpack and he set his lunchbox like that for the picture too.

 His teacher is the one in yellow, everyone says she is so nice and their favorite teacher, so that's good to hear.

 His best buddies-Nicholas, Matthew, Kyle



 They do the pledge as a whole school on the first and last day of school, by the flagpole.  
 I followed him up to the door for one more picture and to say goodbye.
At least he isn't embarrassed of me yet,  we'll see what Molly does on her first day.

Random Week of Fun

We tried to cram a lot of fun stuff into the last week before school starts.
 We tried the Drive In for the first time.  We saw Guardians of the Galaxy.  The kids loved it, Max may not be invited back again if we go anytime soon.
 The whole way there Molly was baffled but what exactly we were going to do.  (Matthew just ate a blue push pop)
 Its hard to tell but she has her hoodie on upside down.

 We went to Legoland
 Matthew's spaceship


 Matthew made him and his friend Kyle

 This is Ella, Molly, Matthew, and Kyle

 Max, Ella, Molly, Matthew, and Kyle






 a Frozen inflatable-We went to the back to school bash at the Roselle Park District with Joe, Juliana, Connor, and Mackenzie





 This was funny, Matthew and Molly raced and Connor and Matthew.  You are tethered to the wall and you run and put your beanbag on the wall.  The point is to see whose gets the farthest.



 Saturday we went to the Treehouse Place in Lake Zurich
