First Day of School

I can't believe we have already started another school year, what is even harder to believe is that Sky started FIRST grade this year. He was so excited to start school to see all his friends and I was a mess. Every time we talked about it my eyes would fog up from the tears and I would have to change the subject. I am such a baby when it come to this stuff. LOL Well the day was finally here and I took some adorable pictures of Sky, (but of coarse my computer STILL wont upload anything, so I will post them later.) I think I was more nervous than he was it is a long day to be aways from him and I had all the other worries, ex: would he remember his lunch box at lunch time, would he find his class after recess, could he undo his belt to go potty, ect... So as we walked into his class I prepared my self for him to get a little nervous and want me to hang out for a minute ha ha. He looked for his desk and when he found it he said okay bye mom, umm excuse me!!!! Don't you need me to show you where to put your bag or anything like that? "NOPE oh and Mom don't kiss me because your lip gloss will get on me" Not sure if that is why I started crying or if it was because he was so big and in first grade, but needless to say I BAWLED like a baby. That was one of the longest days in history, I kept looking at the Clock and I was so ready for him to be home around 1:30 but still had 2 more hours!!He did great he LOVES school and the fact that he has 3 recesses! One day he came home and I always ask him how lunch was and he often has an excuse for me why he couldn't eat all his lunch, well on this particular day it was because he was going to miss recess. When I opened his lunch box EVERYTHING was still in it, well everything except his dessert! I couldn't help but laugh then we had to have a talk about what he needs to eat first and then if he has no time to leave the rest for home! LOL I love that kid so much he makes my life so interesting and fun!!! :)

Abbie a few weeks later started preschool, she was so excited she could hardly stand it! She was very mad when Skyler started school and she had to wait 2 more weeks. When we went to orientation she was jumping out of her skin with excitment UNTIL we got there then she was her normal painfully shy self and I had to pry her off me. I am horrible but, I love that she loves me so much Sky has always been so independent it is nice to be needed. :) On her first day she was singing all morning and wanted to go school at 7am. I take Levi too since I watch him everyday anyways. So I took hem on their first day and I got Abbie out of the car and when I turned to get Levi out and turned back around she was gone! Oh NO not again, another little independent stinker. I made her come back and at least give me a hug bye. Levi had to give me one too. I have been watching him since he was 10 months old and so it kinda felt like I was dropping two of my own kids off, which of coarse made the tears flow even more. My planes where to go grocery shopping with Jace while the kids where at school, wow to only have one kid for a few hours was so weird for me I am so used to having a house full. The whole drive to Winco I was uncontrollably bawling my eyes out. Jace kept asking "wheres Levi and Abbie" which made me cry harder then he would ask " Erin do you have a owie" Ha Ha Ha it helped lighten my mood a little. When we go to the store I had to take a few minutes to get my self together. I am such a nerd and I don't know why it is so hard for me to have them go to school. Every child does it and I see other moms just drop them off and not even go in with out any problems why the crap am I such a boob about it!?!?
The time went by fast and before I knew it , it was time to pick them up and they LOVED it. They talked about it the rest of the day and couldn't wait to go back! It is so crazy to me to think my baby is in school and I have no more kids to send (of my own) I wish I could stop time or at least slow it down. My kids have grown way to fast and just keep growing!

I hate when school starts again. It just means that they are getting older :( I am not ready for it.
