So here we are at the end 

of this not long enough Summer.

The kids are back in School

 and I find it all bittersweet.

I love my Summers with the boys.

Love having no schedules to follow,

no homework (I hate homework!),

but most of all I just love having them around.

Usually! :)

This year Cody is in the 3rd grade

and Landen is in Kindergarten.

They are so excited to be attending the same school.

It's so cute to me how much they love each other

and look forward to doing things together.

Cody's first day of school was last week.

His teacher this year is Mrs. Orr.

He is very happy to have a classroom

in the school and not in the temps.

He was bummed school was already starting again

but now he says he is happy about it and likes it.

Landen had his first day of school today!

So exciting!!!

He has been ready to go for weeks.

I put Landen in afternoon kindergarten

 and does not start until 12:45pm. 

This morning he was ready to leave at the

same time Cody leaves in the morning.

Had his back pack on and all!

He was not thrilled when I told him he still

had about 4 hours until he goes. 

When the time finally rolled around

he was ready to go to school!

We were planning to walk over to the school

with his buddy Luke and his parents.

They were not ready fast enough for Landen.

He says to me," lets just go!" then starts walking away.

He makes me laugh.

No messing around with him. :)

Once we got to school he was totally done with me.

While the kids were lined up outside the classroom 

I was saying goodbye and trying to hug & kiss him.

He was pushing me away and just ready to be on his own.

:( 

This is completely opposite of Cody

 on his first day of Kindergarten.

Every kid does have their own personality!

Walking to school.

Welcome to Kindergarten!

The door to Mrs. Anderson's classroom.

Lining up before the bell rings.

On his way!

After school was over and the boys were home.

I asked Landen how it all went?

He was acting a little bummed out and replied,

"it was nothing special!"

Okay????

That was all he had to say about that.
