This post is a month in coming. The boys actually started back to school on August 20th and I am just now getting around to a back to school post. What in the world!?!
We are getting used to our school routine and the boys are all having a great year. This is the one and only year all three of the boys will ever be in school together. That is so hard for me to wrap my head around! We absolutely lucked out this year as far as getting three incredible teachers (although I have to say it has been rare for any of the kids to get a "bad" teacher). For that, I am so thankful. Cale's teacher and teacher's assistant are constantly telling me how much they love Cale and the teacher's assistant is always telling me she wants to take him home with her...to which I reply, when do you want him! ;-) Coby is always telling me how nice his teacher is and he seems thrilled to go to school everyday. Connor is doing great and loving school as well this year. He got the teacher he wanted, his best friend is in his class and he is putting a lot of effort into his work. It doesn't get much better than that. This mommy is happy and I hope all three boys have a great school year. I think they will!
So, here are a few back to school pics....you know, a month late....
The school supplies were sorted...it was the first time that I had to sort/buy
supplies for all THREE boys!

Meet the Teacher Day
before leaving to meet their teachers
Cale sorting out his school supplies and putting them in their proper homes
I can't believe I am typing this, but Connor is in 5th grade...hence at the TOP of the school. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

First Day of School
the boys before heading out to their first day of school
Darren and the boys walking toward the school...we had to park pretty far away (Coby was hidden by Darren and I hate that!)
sitting down to color a picture (he looks so little here, but I know that he is going to grow up so quickly and that makes me SO sad!)
After getting Cale settled in, Darren and I went to see Coby who told us we didn't need to walk him to class (WHAT?) I'm not sure that he loved us stopping by, but goodness he is only in 2nd grade, surely he isn't too cool for us already!?!
As for a classroom pic of Connor...that's not happening! He hasn't let us walk him to class for two years now and we don't dare stop by his classroom. I mean seriously how embarrassing would that be? ha
Darren and I went to breakfast and ran errands after dropping off the boys. It was so nice to have some time together. It was like date (only it was in the morning) and we didn't even have to line up babysitters. I think we can get used to this!
My mom told me that I'd probably be really sad after dropping Cale off on his first day of elementary school, but nope, I felt just fine about it! I mean he only goes for 2 1/2 hours so it's not like it's the "real deal" just yet. Next year...that's a whole different story. The first week after one of the boys goes to school all day for the first time is really hard on me, but after that I'm fine (and so are they). It will be strange having all three gone all day, but I'm sure I'll adjust just fine! I guess I'll find out next year. Where has the time gone?
