Back to School

After our Meet the Teacher night, it was sinking in that our lazy days of summer were nearly over. Jeff and I made sure to take the kids out for one final day of fun before the hectic school schedule kicked in.

On the eve of the first day of school.

First up, some family jumping fun at JumpStreet! (Who am I kidding? I didn't jump. That ship has sailed long ago!)

JumpStreet for a back-to-school celebration.

Not sure who was more sweaty, Dad or the kids!

Somehow I didn't manage to get any photos of the rest of our day, but we treated the kids to some fun surprises including their favorite "candy buffet" (a.k.a. the candy store Itz Sugar). Although they wouldn't admit it, they were both feeling some excitement at what their new school year would bring.

The next morning, Kaitlynn was all smiles for her 1st day of 2nd grade! Connor was very vocal about not wanting to return, but he was definitely ready to reunite with his school friends.

My cuties on their first day of 2nd and 5th grades!

As Connor was off and running into his 5th grade school year, I escorted Kaitlynn to her classroom for her first day. She was ALL smiles and so excited for the day ahead with her teachers and friends.

The kids brought a sweet treat for their teachers on the first day of school.

Any excuse for a hug from Mrs. Hebert!

Look at that smile! She was SO excited for 2nd grade!

I'll have more later on Connor's first morning of 5th grade. But for now, I just had to share these "lost" photos from Meet the Teacher night. Somehow these didn't make it in the earlier post, but they were too cute not to share.

Here's to an awesome year of 2nd and 5th grade!!

 

A lost photo from Meet the Teacher night, love this!

LOVE these big kids!!
