With the most wonderful time of the year happening ( school starting) I realize more and more every year that I am NOT one of those moms. You know, the ones that cry and cry when their kids walk through the doors of the elementary school. They linger around the parking lot and wish that summer would last forever. That is not me. I lovingly take our annual pictures, walk them to there classrooms, give a big hug and kiss, and then skip happily home. Yes, that's the kind of mom I am. And I mean no hurt feelings if you are the parking lot mom. It's hard, it is, to send your kids out into the world of school. But I am loving the sweet rewards that it has to offer. The kids love school, I love school, and Dallin is really loving mom to himself all day.
Nat started 1st grade. It's sort of weird thinking that she goes all day. But she is handling it well and she has an excellent teacher.
Mason is in 3rd grade. Wow. How did that happen so quickly? He is ready to do well because, "I need to be smart so I can go to college so then I can get drafted to the NBA." Good plan Mace, good plan.
And our usual first day of school treat. Chocolate chip cookies on the red plate. All in all, I'd say that we are starting out successful.

You crack me up, Beck! I am definitely not a parking lot mom either, actually I stick 'em on the bus and let 'er roll. No crying for me. I am appaled that they have the gall to grow up so quickly, but do enjoy my sweet little home with Colton during the day. the quiet is nice :)
I love the first day pictures and especially the red plate. My mom had one like that also that we each got to eat off of on our birthday.
I love you "You are Special" plate! Every time I see that in your blog posts, I think to myself that I need to get one for our family!
