You can’t see it in the picture but The Kids were commenting on how the mist was still hanging over the fields (at 7:30am). This picture will definitely be the focal point of this years “Year in Review” Poster.
Riding in their own personal limo (a.k.a. minivan). Poor Mr. Kirk didn’t know what hit him.
Note that Artemis left this morning with two ponytails. Right after stopping this video, Artemis asked Mr. Kirk if he wanted the rest of her watermelon because she likes to share.
The good news is that they want to go back tomorrow.
The bad news is that means that I have to get up at 6:30am again.
Either way, we will return to our regularly scheduled programming shortly.
Have Any First Day of School Stories?
P.S. Anyone know why this video appears sideways on my phone (which I used to take the video) and when I upload it to YouTube it’s right side up!?

Aww so awesome Sarah!!! They look so excited! What was the best part of their day??
Dear Carla,
For Max it was playing with the Lego and for Artemis it was making a new friend. Thanks for asking because I’d almost forgotten.
Are you ready for Tuesday?
Besos Sarah.

I am so happy that Artemis made a new friend (always so hard and nerve wracking meeting new kids!). LEGO is always fun isn’t it? How is it going now?
Dear Carla,
They’re still loving it. In fact, we go back tonight for a “Meet the Teacher BBQ” and they’re so excited! More so perhaps that they get a hot dog but I’ll take it.
I hope that your little one is enjoying his day.
Besos Sarah.

What are they transporting in those giant bags?? 🙂
We have our second first-day-of-school next week, exciting times!
They look so grown up – when did that happen?
Dear Rene,
They had to take two changes of clothes, a spare pair of shoes, boxes of kleenex, ziploc bags and more. The funny thing was that they didn’t need crayons or books and those were the only things that I actually bought!?

Awww! This is so sweet! I may not survive this year, so I’m proud of you for surviving this day! I cannot fathom the fact that my baby will graduate in a few short months!

Dear Freda,
They are LOVING school. Mind you, their favourite parts of the day are “watching tv” and “recess” but I’ll take it.

Awww 🙂 Sweet video! Glad to see that school was more of a hit then it was last year 🙂
Dear Soozle,
That’s an understatement. Thanks for following along. I hope that your back to school was successful.

no stories from me, other than BTS was my favourite time of the year
Dear MrDisco,
Double edged sword for me as I have to get up AT LEAST two hours earlier than normal.

I’m glad to hear that the kids like it enough to want to go back, those early mornings are a drag though I agree whole heartedly. One of my grandsons had his first school day too, he was quite contrary (despite or because of? his mother being there). On returning home he presented a letter from his teacher adding ‘it might not be good’. The positive side is he must have realised that he was being difficult. 🙂 He’s going to be the class clown.
Dear Elizabeth,
Max is “spirited” too. It’s taken him two years to get to where he chooses to go to school. In my opinion, the Teacher plays a major role in how things go and also how actions are interpreted. However, school isn’t for everyone. May the cookie crumbs fall as they may.
Besos Sarah.

They’ll both turn into fantastic scholars and be loved by all 🙂
How cute are they?! Love the pics and all excited and ready for school!
Dear Aliya,
It’s a week later and they’re still excited to go to school. Hoping it lasts until December…

I love first day of school pics!
Dear Caroline,
I take a lot of pictures so first day of school ones are a no-brainer. I can’t wait to get our “Year in Review” poster ready as I think this years picture will take centre stage.

Yesterday was my kids first day back. I’m remembering to treasure these moments!
Dear Julie,
Did you take a picture? We do an annual “Year in Review” of pictures and this years “To School for the First Time” picture will be in the centre. Hope your kids are enjoying themselves.
Besos Sarah
