And They're Off!

 School is now in session.

Our big 2nd grader.  You know what he was most excited about with school starting back up?  He doesn't have to tag along at the grocery store until next summer!  If we're being totally honest, I'm kind of looking forward to only having one kiddo to keep track of in the store too!  On the first day of school, he didn't even say good-bye once we hit the main doors.  He had places to go, people to see, and things to do.  His mom has dropped significantly down the priority list.  Boohoo.

Do we have to take pictures, Mom?  We're going to be late for SCHOOL!!!!  

Morgan was super excited to (finally!) get to use her pretty pink back pack.  She waved a couple of times but then crossed her arms and closed her mouth around a big pretend marsh-mellow (the standard hall walking pose of all Kindergarteners at this school) and marched off with nary a look behind.  Man, poor mom was feeling it!

But never fear!  This little munchkin (who was happy to jump in front of the camera!) was quite pleased to have his Momma all to himself.  He played happily in his room with all the trio blocks he normally has to share.  But after a while, I heard from the back, "MOM!" 

"Yes, Logan?"

"Oh.  Just checking where you were!"

"Right here, Logan!"

And he'd play for a little while before hollering again, "MOM!"

"Still here, Logan."

"Okay."

Finally, he made his way to my lap and we hung out together.  A sure way to melt his Momma's heart!

My munchkins.  I'm so glad they're off to a good start!  I miss having them all around but am looking forward to settling into our new routine, hanging out with my youngest and getting in to volunteer a bit in their classrooms.
