1st dAY oF sCHOOL!

Jack was SUPER excited about his first day of school this morning!

I think his little back pack was bigger than him! He was so excited that I really thought that I was going to be able to hold it together and not cry....that didn't last long at all! I cried like a baby all morning!

Here he is with a proud daddy!!!

after school snack on the "you are special today" plate....my mom made us chocolate chip cookies every year on our first day of school...I think I even got them on my 1st day of college!!!

I served him breakfast in mommy and daddy's bed on the same plate....his choice...blueberry muffins!

I love this little face!!!

The boys in their back packs waiting for daddy to move the car! I think Sammy still thought he was going at this point...he saw Jack putting on his back pack and he ran in his room and came out holding his and said "put dis on my back!"

Jack kissing his little bubs bye for the day!

I had lost it way before this but this is where the tears just started flowing....THEY WALK IN ALONE!!! You go through the drop off and the teachers help them out of the car...there are teachers all along the way to their class to guide them... but he looked SO tiny walking in all alone! {Bob wasn't crying...but he did admit that this part was a little sad!} Jack was so proud of himself and thought he was such a big boy!!!

After school he had a fun little surprise bag waiting in the car! Here he is checking it out! I think he had a pretty good day! He didn't like having to do what a teacher said...he wanted to just play with whatever he wanted to and I think there were some tears on his part too...but as the evening went on he seemed more and more excited about it! He has precious teachers and I really think he is going to have a great year!

And I got to spend some time with this little cutie!!!

Sammy is the funniest little guy right now! We got in the car and K-LOVE was playing How great is our God by Chris Tomlin...which happens to be the same song that we sang at church while Jack was dedicated....I started crying because that seriously seems like a few weeks ago! It goes by so fast!!! Well, I really didn't want Jack to know that I was crying....he was so excited and I didn't want to ruin it for him or think it was something scary or sad...so I just grabbed a tissue and was wiping my face...well, Sammy said "mommy, what's wrong with you?" I said "oh, mommy just has a runny nose." he wrinkled up his little face and said "is it runnin' out your eyeballs?" He always makes me laugh!!

Happy 1st Day of Pre School Jack Robert!

We are so proud of you and know that you are going to have a great year!!
