It's Here!!!

We have had a really busy last couple of weeks. We have been busy getting ready for school. Buying school supplies and school clothes (I realized I didn't really have enough shirts to make it through one week). Kole also needed clothes (i guess he got taller over the summer and his shirts were too small) and since Kole was getting new clothes Ali need new clothes too! I think daddy was the only one who didn't get new clothes but that's because he doesn't have patience to go shopping and try on clothes!

This weekend we celebrated Kole's 6th birthday! He had LOTS of fun!! We had a full house and a Caption America celebration complete with a pinata!!! 

I have been busy helping my mentor set up the classroom which has been so much fun! As it turns out her family and my family are a little intertwined!! It's a small world!!! I have been decorating bulletin boards like CRAZY, tracing and cutting and stapling!!! I can't wait until I get to really decide what goes where in my classroom! I am going to have start stocking up on cute baskets this year to store stuff in on my desk and ctue room decorations! Tomorrow is our first day of school and I am really excited to start my student teaching year but I am also so nervous. And I am sad because it's Kole's first day of First grade. Where did my little baby go?

I had to take first day of school pictures tonight because I won't be able to walk him to class tomorrow because I have to be at my school:( Thankfully dad is going in late so one of us is doing it. I have always walked Kole to class on his first day and I am a little sad to not be able to do it this year. I have gotten so spoiled with being able to be at home with my kids. Sometimes it's just so hard to change even when it's good and you are excited about the change. 

I am hoping for a good week of first's for Kole and me this week!!
