First Day of School

The kids started school a week and a half ago, and so of course I have to post some pics of the first day. Rob is a big 4th grader who was mortified to have his mother walk him to the bus stop. I haven't walked him for the past two years because he always had friends on our street to walk with. But those friends all started Jr High this year, so for the first day of school he got me to walk with, and apparently that just isn't cool!
Sarah spent the first day of school home sick. She was SO upset to miss the first day, but after a day of rest and medicine, she was ready to go the next day. I had to walk them to the bus stop again (and embarass Rob all over again) so I could take pics of Sarah's first day!

The younger two enjoy the morning walk to the bus stop. Talia is quite sad that Rob doesn't find it cool for us to walk them every morning--she loves to walk to the bus and wave to Sarah as the bus drives off.


We have a tradition of having ice cream sundaes after they come home on the first day of school, and this year was no exception. Rob's sign says "Best ice cream sundae maker". And he smeared whip cream all over his face as a joke (although he actually is that messy sometimes!)



Sarah's first day--she's a big second grader! They're growing up too fast--sometimes I just want to freeze time and keep them young forever.

When did Robby get so tall! I haven't seen him for awhile. I feel old when I see the kids I knew as babies look so grown up.

I can't believe your kids are so big. I feel so old.
