School Days

August 24, 2020

Days 1 and 2 are under our belt! Everyone came home from Day 1 with big smiles…

day 1

and smiled even bigger when they saw the special treat I had gotten them! I figured everyone deserved a little “happy” after the first day back to school, right?

She gets out at 2:00 all through this week and was nothing but smiles when she got home…

Friday night we all went out to dinner to celebrate two days of school complete…

Unfortunately, Maxwell got a migraine and he and I ended up leaving dinner early to take him home. And his teacher was out on Day 2 and will be out for the next 14 days quarantining due to a potential Covid exposure. Ah well…you can’t win them all so I’ll take the highs mixed with the lows and make the best of it!

and then off they went.

I can’t think too hard about what all is happening – the pandemic, my baby going to Kindergarten, them having to wear masks all day – so I’m just trying to let it happen and take each day as it comes. I’m choosing to stay optimistic that this is going to be a fantastic school year for my 3 favorite people!

Let’s do this!

Meet the Teacher

August 19, 2020

Yesterday the kids got to meet their teachers and see their new classrooms and it all went great. Samantha was in the morning and was all smiles…

Spencer and Maxwell went later that day and were happy to see some buddies too.

Spencer has Mrs. Brown and Maxwell has Mrs. Collins. Both seem awesome!

Everything is almost the same yet not the same at all. Everyone is in masks. The desks and tables are spread apart as much as possible. The kids will eat lunch in their rooms and have all specials in their room. They only get to go to the playground once a week, the other days recess will be on the front lawn. It’s not going to be the same, but that doesn’t mean it can’t still be good. Hoping they all stay healthy and get to stay in school all year long!

The 3 Amigos

August 18, 2020

Well, today we meet the teacher and Thursday it’s back to school! Back to school with masks and new procedures and lots of hand sanitizer! Some of us are ready to get back, some of us feel like Samantha in this photo…

One thing is for sure, I will always remember this summer with these three. I’m so thankful I quit my job when I did so I got to just be Momma during all of this.

3 amigos

We’ve spent pretty much every moment together and I have loved every bit…well, almost every bit! ha!

3 amigos

They may not always get along, but they love each other and I love them more than they will ever know. So thankful for all of this time with my 3 amigos!!

My little buttercups, have the sweetest smiles! The Three Amigos! I’m thinking we found our next Saturday movie night movie!

End of summer

August 17, 2020

Well, we’re finally here – the final days of summer! School starts Thursday and we’re soaking up the last few days of the longest and strangest summer ever. One thing we’re wrapping up? Swim team! The kids jumped into swim team in mid-June and didn’t look back. They learned so much, swam in lots of meets, and had fun. I could not be prouder of them!!

Unfortunately, the end of the season banquet was cancelled because of Corona so we had a drive through yesterday to pick up our trophies…

Those are some trophies! Go MBC Magic!
