First day of school

 Our first day of school was August 13. The boys both got teachers that they have LOVED so far! Tad started kindergarten this year and is really liking school. He has become a little more shy now that he doesn't have Darrell there all the time but he is doing really well. Darrell loves first grade. He loves the fact that he gets to stay longer and eat lunch in the lunch room and he gets two recesses now. He tells me how awesome that is all the time. Ha ha ha

 The boys helped me make cookies and these cards to take to their teachers on meet the teacher night.

Darrell was given a blank piece of paper shaped like a person and was told to make it look like him. What he wanted to be when he grows up or what he looks like now. He decided he wanted to make him look like a train engineer because that is what he wants to be when he gets older. He had to be creative and find all the things he needed himself so he found some old hay that was bleached out by the sun and used it for his hair and some old buttons I had for his eyes and found some fabric that looked like an engineers overalls so we cut some overalls out of it. He colored the rest and had me draw a train for him to cut out and hold. I asked him why he was coloring his teeth grey and he said I'm not coloring all my teeth that color just my dead tooth! ha ha ha he turned out pretty cute though, I thought.

 Tad wanted in on the crafting too so this is the monster he made for me! I thought it was pretty cute too! He cut all kinds of shapes and glued and colored and he was really proud of his monster. I was proud of his creativity! He made the tail out of fabric so it could swish and hit other monsters and dinosaurs. Ha ha ha

Ninjago and Ben 10 were a must for their attire this year and they were so excited to get to finally wear their shirts!

I just can't believe how big they are and that both of them are in school now!

It is a fun adventure for sure!
