1st DAY of SCHOOL 2010-2011

Well, I loaded these in the backwards order so you'll get the last picture first :)

The morning started with Micah up at 5:30! He did go back to bed for almost another hour, thankfully! Eric ran out to the school at 5:30 this morning to quickly install a projector for a fellow teacher. He planned to do it last night, but when Micah cracked open the back of his head, our plans changed. He and I headed to the ER (where he got 2 staples put in) and Eric and the other 3 kids went home for dinner, baths, and bed. Eric was back home by just before 7 am and we all sat down to coffee cake and scrambled eggs at 7:30 am. I made up morning checklist charts for the kids and they enjoyed putting stickers or checking off what they'd done already. I'm hoping it will cut down on the "Did you ______", from me. I can just say, "Look at your checklist." :o)

So, here are pics.

Eric and the kids loaded up to go. JJ and I followed behind in my car. I walked all the kids to their classes. Noah and Carissa were quick drop offs and then JJ and I went in with Micah for a few minutes.

My little Nuttlings... all in a row. Micah's face (EYES) cracks me up here!!! HA HA

I can't believe Noah's in 3rd grade already!! Where's the time gone?!

Carissa is so excited for 1st grade and is eager to show Micah the ropes at school.

Micah is SOOOOOO excited. Can you tell?! He's been counting down the days for nearly a month and today finally came.

JJ and I are home now. It's raining and only supposed to be 67 today! Brrrrr!!!! We're headed to Costco later and cleaning house. We'll make chocolate chip cookies today too. That's our annual "first day of school" tradition.

Here's hoping it's a GREAT school year! :)
