Back to School

The boys went back to school on Tuesday September 2nd. Michael started 5th grade this year (he's getting the attitude to prove it) and Evan started 2nd grade. Evan got right out of bed and dressed as soon as his alarm went off. Michael was a bit more relaxed and took his time getting ready. We drove the kids to school the first morning and went in to get them settled into their classrooms. Then we were off to start our day - Matt went to work and I came home to clean the house. It took over a week to get the house back in order from the summer chaos.

Evan and Michael are ready for their first day of school this year. Their lunch boxes have their names on them this year - much better planning on my part.

Evan is excited to start second grade! He's looking forward to a fun year with new friends and a new teacher. Michael put together this memory box over the summer. The entire fifth grade was to each create a box to bring and share with the kids during the first week of school.

Evan is in his classroom. He's all the way down the hall at the end this year. He finds his desk and is going to unpack his supplies.

Evan has put away all of his new supplies, his backpack, and his coat. He's ready to start the day in second grade!

Michael arrives at his classroom and takes off his coat. This year, his class has tables with "desk drawers" under them for their class supplies. When the teacher rearranges you in class, you just take out your drawer and take it with you to your new spot.

Michael chats with his friend Zach the first morning. It's good to be back at school and have some good friends in your class.
