What do you get when you dont have to go to school?

Special days at home with mommy while older kids are in school bring about very special surprises. We had an impromtu shopping trip for some last minute items and Abby was able to talk mommy into getting cookies. Now if it was all of them, I would never have gotten these cookies for them, but when you only have 2 to buy for it makes it a bit easier. LOL.

Abby and Daniel both enjoyed their special little treat. Of course Abby picked a pink flower for herself. It is pink afterall and a flower. What more can a little girl want.

And for our little Sunshine, Abby picked the Sun. What a perfect little treat.

I did not get the picture of the mess that they made with the cookies afterwards. They only ended up eating the icing off the cookie and then crumbling the cookie all over the floor and smearing left over icing across the bookcase. Oh well! It was tasty while it lasted.

First Day of school

We have 3 in school this year. It is amazing to think that I will only have 3 kids at home during the day. Boy, what will I do with all my spare time. LOL. We have been anxiously awaiting the first day of school, so it was a releif to finally be at this point.
Tyler is in 5th Grade this year. He has been very excited to get the chance to make some friends here in Spokane. Since I am posting this very late, I can already tell you that he has become friends with a boy who is in both his class at school and also at church. He is a triplet with a brother and sister in the 5th grade also, so he has made some good friends and I cant complain too much. He enjoys walking home from school with them every day. It is great to see him growing up.

Jacob is in the 2nd grade this year. Wow, I cannot believe it. He is getting big so very fast. Jacob is very excited to be reading and getting to a point where he can keep up with Tyler a bit better. He is learning and growing and becoming a great student. We are excited for the progress he has made.

Noah is our big Kindergartener. His big day is finally here. We are so proud of him and all the work he has put in the last year to get to this point. The school we are going to this year has all day kindergarten, so he is at school all day with his brothers. This is so great for him (as well as for Mom). He enjoys school very much, but it does wear him out by the end of the week. I am excited to see him start his school career and begin all the fun stages we have started with the older boys. It is amazing that he is at this point already. Yeah Noah.

I am so very proud of all 3 of my school boys. They are doing so well and enjoying school so much. I wish them all a good time at school this year.
