Very First Day of School

So, this is very late. The first day of kindergarten for Mashuga was actually in August. But, I had to share these cute pictures.

He likes his teachers and his classmates and keeps telling me that he's bored because he knows all of the answers already. (No surprise there.) I talked to his teacher and she will be splitting up reading groups soon and giving him some good individualized attention. So, I am optimistic. We shall see how it goes.

Mashuga was very excited for his first day of school and just the cutest kindergartner.



He and Scud (who is homeschooling) had to be silly for a picture.


Coco didn't especially like having his morning nap interrupted to get Mashuga from school.


I feel guilty that I didn't get any pictures of Kaitybean on her first day of school.

We went to the gardens at Thanksgiving Point that afternoon, which was wonderful. What a glorious place!

Kaitybean made friends with the petunias.


We all got our picture taken on a giant caterpillar.


Coco and Daddy played together.


And took time to smell the roses.


Scud sat on a bear.


Mashuga walked a maze with me.


And we enjoyed the general splendor.

Your kiddos are so BIG now! Kaitlyn is 10? 11? And I think Matthew looks SO much like Jeffrey.

We are homeschooling this year too. I'm trying to remember - what grades did you homeschool Kaitlyn for? Is this the first time for Scott to homeschool?
