Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Am I going to document every single school morning? Maybe. At least I am for now!
Day 3 went great as well!! Woohoo!! and Samantha Lou Retton had a fun time back at gymnastics! Happy to move into the weekend with a great first week under our belt. Happy Friday!
Day 2 went just as good as day 1!
We even got sister in the picture yesterday morning!
No, I did not tell her to pose! She did that all on her own! ha! She’s a mess and I’m so glad she’s MY mess!
Happy for a good start to school!
They both rocked it! What a great first day!
Not surprisingly, I had to wake Spencey up but they were all downstairs and ready in plenty of time…
and then it was off to school!
Kindergarten ready!
and Second Grade ready!
Spencer just wanted to walk over with Maxwell so I didn’t go to the flagpole with them…and I so wish I had. 🙁
Thankfully, big brother took care of him and got him into the classroom. Phew. When I picked Spencer up at 2:00 he was all smiles!! Hooray!!
I think he had a GREAT day and even got a smiley in his notebook!
Maxwell was home an hour later and, from what I got out of him, had a fantastic day too. I think he was just so happy to be back with all of his friends all day. He and Spencer even both bought lunch – pizza!
Now we get to get up and do it all again tomorrow! Ready for a fun year!
The boys already finished up their summer reading challenges! Like last year, I wanted to give them a challenge to keep them reading during the summer. Maxwell read for 1,000 minutes and Spencer read 3 series of Bob books. Of course, every good challenge has a good reward! The picked new jerseys and were pretty proud to show off their earnings!
I was hoping Maxwell would get into great chapter books like the Magic Treehouse series but he preferred his DogMan and Captain Underpants books. Ah well! It’s better than nothing! Super proud of my summer readers!!
Maxwell finally had his last day of school last Thursday!
Didn’t change that much from the first day yet also changed a ton…and lost 3 teeth!
He had a great year. He got straight +s on his report card and nothing but absolutely GLOWING reports from his teacher. I’m not sure anything in first grade was super challenging to him so hoping we can up the game a bit in second grade. His BFFs are Andrew and Jack and he’d much rather be playing sports all day than sitting in class! ha!
Back row: Maxwell, Owen, Reese, Will, Jack, Mac

Off he goes to his last day as a first grader…
I’m so proud of Maxwell and don’t know what I did to get a kid as good as him. Here’s to a fantastic summer for a fantastic kid!
