First Day of School

The kids are all back in school now. Yea! It really feels good to be able to get back into a routine. While I do enjoy being able to be lazy and take a break from those routines, it is so nice to have my schedule back! I just get so much more done.

Anyway, CK started kindergarten this year. She is at a different school than the other kids because I wanted to find a place for her to do half day kindergarten instead of all day. I plan to have her repeat it next year in a full day class at the school the rest of the kids are at. At any rate, she started last week, just a few days before the rest of the kids. The school she goes to does uniforms, and while I did complain a little bit about having to buy them, I think she looks really cute in them. I'm sure as time goes on, I'll be posting lots more of her in her little uniform!

Here we are outside the house just before we left:

We had cousin Sam with us when we went to school. I just thought this looked cute they way they started walking up to the room together:

So, now it's just me and KL in the afternoons. I can't say that I've gotten lonely yet. I am actually really enjoying the peace and quiet! Last year when CK was at preschool, KL would get really lonely, but we don't have that problem this year since it is pm kindergarten. We have just enough time to run an errand before the baby's nap--then I really get quiet time! I've already put together a nice long "to do" list for my now-peaceful afternoons!
