A New Era: School has started

Zachary and Nicolas went to school for the first time this morning.  I cannot believe that my little big boys are old enough to be starting kindergarten!

We went to see some of the neighborhood kids get on the school bus this morning.  It also gave us the opportunity to meet their bus driver.  She seems like a wonderful lady and I have heard only good thing about her.  Since we (Steve and I) had to go to the school with them this morning, we drove Nicolas and Zachary to school.  We then headed into their classrooms and met their teachers.  We made a drawing for their lockers and hung it up.  We put all of their school supplies away.  Then it was time for them to head off with all the kids to go play in the cafeteria while we had meetings with their teachers about the curriculum and what was to be expected of them throughout the school year.  The boys were amazing and headed off like such big boys!  We were unbelievably impressed at how well they did.


Next we were off to Toys R Us to buy some new Lego to celebrate this big accomplishment and milestone.  Of course we had to pick Charlie up to come with us since he couldn't be left out.  The boys come home happy having had a very positive first experience at school.  Tomorrow they have their first half day.  I am dropping them off after lunch and they will be taking the bus home.
