Kindergarten and First Grade

It's offical, I have two full time students instead of at home babies. Today was the first day of Kindergarten for Rachel, and Ethan started first grade. I was determined to get a few pictures this morning because last year didn't work out so well. When Ethan started kindergarten he had to be on the bus at 5:50a.m. so trying to snap a few pictures that early in the morning did not work. Ethan still wasn't happy about the pictures, as you can see. This year school starts a 8:00a.m. and it's only a 10 minute drive from our house. Yesterday was meet the teacher day and Rachel is so excited to have the same teacher Ethan had for kindergarten, Mrs. Broussard. Ethan met his first grade teacher and her name is Mrs. Johnson. Kindergarten started off great for Rachel, they got to make s'mores for a snack! That is one of her favorites and she thought that was so cool. Ethan was glad to see the school added on a new addition to the playground, lots of bars to climb, swing, and hang onto. Today was only a half-day just to ease the transition back from summer break.

Ethan looks thrilled to be there. Carter wanted to go shopping at the store with his name when I read him your comment. He also said that he does wake up when Ethan and Rachel are going to bed, so that was good that they knew that. :) I will be sure to let Carter see that Ethan wears a uniform..he will no longer feel completely picked on.
