So the holidays are finally over :( It was sad to see my baby girl go back to school. I still can't believe she's in grade 2!! It feels like just yesterday we were taking her home from the hospital. I wish I had a magic remote that allowed me to pause life once in a while, or at least slow it down. Hannah started back last Thursday and was excited to see all her friends and is ready for a year of learning.
Hannah's First Day in Second Grade
Notice how the grass at the top of the yard is lovely and green....that would be because the kids left the tap on out the back the other week and I woke in the morning to a flooded front yard...pity it had no affect on the rest of the lawn. We put Weed 'n' Feed on it early last month - I guess it did more weeding than it did feeding :(
Is this little guy spunky or what?! Ben had his first day at pre-school today. I was soooo anxious as he's a shy little guy and is a tad sensitive and I was worried that there would be lots of tears and leg clutching. But I'm sooo proud of him, he was super excited and went off to class without any problems. His teacher said he didn't say much but they were impressed with his drawing skills (a talent I'm sad to say he gets from his Dad and NOT me). He can't wait to go back tomorrow and we had a great time listening as he recounted his first day adventures at pre-school.
Poor Samuel wanted so badly to go to pre-school too, but he had to settle for a packed lunch in his 'school bag'. He had a fun time in what we think was his FIRST solo outing with Mummy and Daddy. I LOVE this little guy!!
And last by not least...Hannah had her first ice skating lesson today. She's a natural! Granted there were a few falls, but she bounced straight back up and went on skating. I'm seeing Winter Olympics in her future :)
It's been a busy first week of what I'm sure will be an even busier school year!!
