100 days of the first year of school

My girl is a school lovin' fool!

She absolutely loves everything about it right now.

She was very excited to celebrate in the 100days of school.

I can't believe her first year of school is almost coming to an end!

Don't ya just love the outfit!

Avery's First Day of "School"

Thank goodness she is baby #5 because I had no time to be sad about dropping her off at "school".

With two other littles to get ready...pile into the car...

stop from fighting with each other...

juggle lunches, coats, hats, mittens, toys that need to stay in the car and not be smuggled in with them...

all while balancing an infant carrier ~ enough said!

All this really means is...

that my poor little baby girl went to her first day of school

without any tears from Mommy.

She did great too! They just love her there!!

Official First School Picture

And so it begins... the official first of 13 school pictures

KINDERGARTEN 2010

Reegan Our SUPER STUDENT!!

We are so proud!!

Reegan is the Super Student of her Kindergarten class for November.

She has really adjusted to school in a way I didn't see coming. She loves it!

As Super Student she had to make posters to share with her class...

This is her family poster. She picked out all the pictures. Again, she picked out all the pictures she wanted to use for this poster too.

This poster is to show all her favorite things!

We've got... Lenny & Joe's Merry-go-Round, flowers, bubbles, vacation/traveling pictures, Auntie Jaimee, holidays, CHUCKS, school, princesses, her bike, & of course her boyfriend Gabriel!

If she could she would have picked a 1,000 pictures.

Some of the things her classmates said about her...

And just in case you were thinking what a Super Student looks like...

HERE YOU GO!

Reegan the Super Student

Kindergarten Eve!!!

NERVES! NERVES! NERVES!!!

Thank goodness for Kindergarten Ready books!!

Mommy bought one about the night before Kindergarten...
Auntie Liz also bought one for Reegan.
It made the night before Kindergarten so much easier.

Thanks Auntie Liz!!

Orientation Day for KINDERGARTEN!!!!!

Reegan is going to start school next Tuesday!So exciting!!!

We went to visit her classroom.

Had storytime with her new Kindergarten teacher.

She finished coloring her picture at home!

My Baby goes to School

Thank God there is another one after her or I might have cried today.

(...ok, who am I kidding... maybe not, LOL)

Neala went to "school" today for the first time. She absolutely LOVED it! Not a tear, not a bit of fuss, just played all day long and had a blast. She's so laid back & easy - we haven't found a thing that phases her yet!

OUR ROCKSTAR...

She's growing up way too fast... finally made the decision to enroll her in Kindergarten.

God help her teachers, lol!!

Lil' Miss Rockstar ~ soon to be Class of 2023

All I can say is WTH???

Really? I work hard at putting the dog outside?!?

WHAT THE HECK?

I do NOT work hard at putting the dog outside!!! Geez...

Reegan's family project

Reegan's class at school was making a family quilt for their room. Each student had to bring home a white square and decorate it any way they liked... as long as it was done as a family.

This is our masterpiece! We each chose a different color and threw the paint.

Then we all put our thumb prints on it and made the happy faces.

Reegan and Quinton loved it!

Here it is on the wall at school!!

Schools in session.....

How has this happened???

This little guy went to his first day of high school today!

Time flies.... a bit too fast at times!

Devon on his first day of kindergarten ~ September 2000...

...and of course he wouldn't let me sit with him at the bus stop this year or even get a picture of him in the morning! So here he is afterschool getting ready to dive into homework from his FRESHMAN year of HIGH SCHOOL!!!

The Hornet on her first day of PRE-K!!!

OMG next year she is going to Kindergarten.

Quinton also started "school". Well day care anyway...

He started on June 1st but today he moved into Red Group for Big Boys!!

CONGRATULATIONS Devon!!

The Stepping Forward Ceremony begins...

Nervously awaits...
Sees mom is taking a million pictures!

Here we go!

The last moments as an 8th grade student...

Devon stepping forward!!!

He did it!

Devon is officially a Freshman!

Now if we can only work on the hair style.

When did I shrink??

Come September we have a high schooler in the house! EEEK!

The 8th Grade Dance

I had my camera set for something else and forgot to change the settings.

There is no asking for a re-do with a teenage boy...

... and the goofy boy behavior starts...

Practicing his dance moves!

Too sexy! LOL!!
And one decent one.

Our little artist...

Just thought I'd share some of Reegan's hard work from "Blue Group Room". She loves school.

A fingerprint rainbow!

A scary spider!

This one is my favorite!!
