Turfbuilding: Back to School 2010

Time for 2nd grade already?!?!? I really can't believe my sweet boy can be that old, but here we are at the start of another school year. How could anyone one not fall in love with those eyes?!?!

We had to find the coolest bag. He wanted one to wear across his shoulders (some boy converted his backpack straps last year) and I found this super cool Star Wars one.

Posing for a quick shot with me:)

We are in Mrs. Sentell's class. I was a little bummed that not a single person from his class last year was on the list, but it didn't seem to bother him. One boy from church is in there and we are looking forward to knowing him better. If you look close at her middle you can tell Mrs. Sentell will be leaving us half way through the year to have a baby.

already working hard...he talks a big game about not wanting to do work, but he secretly loves learning. He is always trying to figure stuff out.

It was beautiful ALL day long until 10 minutes before the bus was to arrive. So who is the idiot standing out in a strengthening monsoon waiting to get a picture?!?! Me of course!!! Even if it's rainy I had to have my "getting off the bus" shot

and here he is rushing out into the rain

The next day my sweet girl was all ready for her Snoopy Day. OC has a tradition of letting the kids come "snoop around" their new classroom and meet the teacher. It makes me sad to think this could be our last one:(

Playing on the "big kids" playground

Our best friend...who knows what kind of trouble these two will cause.
This pic was taken just moments before a very un-fun event: Caroline got too hot on the playground (heat has been dangerously high here for the past couple weeks) and threw up all over her mommy and Mrs. Amanda's carpet :(
