After a summer that went by too fast, it was time for the first day of school. Lots of mothers cry on this day, some with sadness at sending their baby to school others cry with joy at sending all their babies to school. I was ready to send my babies back to school, even though it meant the end of sleeping in late.
This year everyone of my kids is at a different school. The kiddos were pretty excited for the first day: new clothes, new shoes, new backpacks, & new teachers. We had our traditional first day of school breakfast: boiled egg, banana, and donuts. I tried talking the kids into healthy muffins instead of the donuts but they insisted we hold to tradition. I drive the kiddos to school on the first day but they ride the bus home. I don't know who was more looking forward to getting back to routine and a schedule me or the kids.

They all had fantastic first days of school and they all like there teachers and classes. I enjoyed a quiet house for a few hours. So it was a great first day all around! Let's hope we can keep our enthusiasm until summer rolls back around!
How fun to see all the kids in their new outfits and see how much they have grown! So happy they like their teachers. Quinton is growing up so fast. Maybe that is what makes him so tall!
