Back to School

We had a Back to School Feast for FHE before school started.  I pulled out the fancy glasses and made some of their favorite foods.  We picked a theme for the year: "The Family is of God."  We read a from the Family Proclamation and discussed it while we ate.  It was a fun way to start off the new school year!

First day of school

Charlie has been waiting and waiting for Kindergarten to start.  Today was finally the day!  He picked out his clothes himself and I had to laugh because he looks just like a little Tony to me.  

His school sure made things fun on the first day.  The faculty and older kids lined the halls chanting, "lets go kindergarten lets go!" and gave high fives until he reached his classroom.  Charlie said he was fine without me but I snuck in behind him anyways :)

I came back to the house with just these two cuties.  It was weird but good.

Charlie and his neighbor buddy, Brock

Some of my friends texted me these pictures during the day.  I guess they were cool enough to go in the classroom!  We have lots of little kindergarten kiddos in our neighborhood.  Charlie has 4 kids from our ward in his class.

They went to preschool together and are now in the same kindergarten class! 

 Charlie and Nixon

Charlie requested chocolate chip cookies for his first after school snack....

I made him tell me all about his first day while he ate one.  Unfortunately, he only remembered a few details about recess.  I have to ask the right questions, right when he gets home for school, or he "can't remember" anything he did during the day.

Joey's first day of school was the following week!  He had a great day and was definitely ready to go after watching Charlie go to school.  Joey is going back to school with the same teacher he had last year.  We LOVE Mrs. Adams.  She is perfect for Joey.

I sure love these school boys!
