Ma Babies Have Doned Growed Up!

Today was the first day of school, Zach; grade 3 and Casey; Kindergarten. I have dreamed of this day since Zach first started school, the day that both my children would attend full time school, and I would be blissfully left in peace for the 8 hours they are gone. So needless to say, that this is a celebration for me rather than my children

Casey will have Miss Davis as his teacher this year. She seems great and we have heard nothing but wonderful things about her. He had his first homework assignment at his Meet the Teacher on Friday night, memorize his student i.d. number/pin number, which he had done in an hour and he's requested that he needs about 9 more days of summer (how random is that?). He's been itching to set out his "first day of school" clothes, new back pack and his sweet new shoes, all week long. Any day's a good day when you have kicks like these (I got a sweet deal on these bad boys):

Zach is pumped about being a 3rd grader this year, and his teacher is Miss Pignone (it's french and pronounced Pin-yon) He has graduated from his all Tony Hawk wardrobe, and had gone for a sporty-er look. He picked out his shoes on his own and I have to say the kids got style. He can't wait to see who's in his class this year. He was so excited about school that he couldn't sleep, it took him FOR-EV-UH, he doesn't even get that way for Christmas!
