The First Day of..

Preschool for Jay.  He was super excited and is a little upset that he can not go again tomorrow.  Here are pictures. He is very happy to have a backpack and a lunch kit
 Funny smile
 I caught the tail end of the smile
 Almost looks like a school picture
 Brother picture, although Jay is not too sure about having this picture taken
That's better, brothers who love each other. 

On a side note Taylor was in a sewing club last year.  She ended up missing the last class where they got to work some more on their rag quilt.  So we are now trying to get her to finish it up.  We are getting close.  We have just laid it out now to finish sewing it together.

Review of Shaun's first day

Apparently Shaun had a really good day.  He got a little fidgety by the end of the day.  I asked him what his favorite part of the day was and he looked at me and said 'lunch'

Shaun's First Day

Today was Shaun's first day of kindergarten.  He has been really worried about it over the last few days.  Today he woke up a little happier and was a little excited about going.


 Shaun with the girls.  I tried to get a group shot but Jay was in a stink and would not sit
Shaun in his brand new classroom.  Notice Jay in the background in his pj's.  I asked him to get dressed and his response was 'no' so I took him in his jammies.

 This was another play thing for the kids.  It was close to a sight so they could only use is when the truck was gone or else it would hit the truck
