First Day of School

Summer has officially come to an end.  Well, maybe not, we just start school extra early around here with the track system.  Having a little bit longer summer actually made the boys excited to start school.  Hooray!  And because we were having so much fun this summer, I was actually a little sad they were going back....that thought only lasted for 2 seconds...a quiet house with no teasing Sadie sounded pretty nice to me!

So Spencer is headed into the FIFTH grade.  Wow!  I can still picture him waiting in line for the bus with his backpack that is twice his size and nervously waving goodbye to me. 
Ethan is headed into the THIRD grade.  Really?  Sweet little baby Ethan is a third-grader?  Wow, that happened over night!
It was all smiles as they headed off to the bus stop together. 
And then just like that, the house is quiet.  For a second I stopped and thought, I'm gonna miss them today.  And then the moment passed and I celebrated!! Woohoo!!

Holy cow your boys are growing up! They look sooo cute! Ethan is almost as tall as Spencer!!! Kelton has been in school three weeks now, so you actually didn't start to late!

They look so old! My celebration was short lived. I had a week and a half with the 4 older kids in school, and now Grant and Jillian are off-track for 4 weeks!

Cute pictures! I had the same thoughts when the girls went too, now I'm wondering if I'm ready for them to go off track in 3 weeks.
