ABC's

Today was Oliver's first day of school. Pre-kinder. Oliver turned five this summer and I decided to have him go next year to kindergarten. The PreK that he is in though is awesome because unlike preschool which is usually around 6 hours a week, this is 12 hours. Tuesday through Friday the same hours as Kindergarten. And it is at an elementary school here. I am not sure of his teacher and it is just her first year...so who knows. But I think it will be great. I would have never imagined that Oliver would just go to school no problem...he used to never leave my side and now he is out in the world. Scary. I definitely had some anxiety this morning. I kept feeling like maybe it wasn't the best place for him...but I know that is just me feeling the pain of my first child leaving the house. I don't like it. Man the time that you have them all to yourself feels like a long time...and then if feels like none at all.

I didn't buy him any new school clothes...hahaaa. I will though soon. As soon as the stores get some more clothes in. You wouldn't believe how sold out everything is.

I told my kids to look happy. I guess this is their interpretation.

Horrible picture I know...I wish Cortney could have been there to take the pictures. The boys running to the school.

Oliver at a desk. Man...I hope he is okay. I know he is but still.

I cried today sending Cooper off to school on the bus. The house has been very quiet today.
