Last night the boys had the opportunity to go to school and "meet" their teacher. Of course, they know most of the teachers at school already but it is still fun for them to see where they will sit and know exactly where to go on the first day. The teachers always have a sweet little treat waiting for them there too.

when i picked them up this afternoon, they both said they had a really great day and loved their new teachers. burrito had his textbooks because we had to put covers on them tonight. i had to conjure up my book-covering abilities from years past. i can't believe he has real textbooks. does this growing up thing ever slow down??? noodle talked about how they can earn tickets for good behavior and then cash in their tickets for little prizes. they both talked about seeing their old buddies at recess and not having any homework for this first week. hooray!
i was not as emotional about leaving them this year. i think i am finally accepting that they are growing up and learning new responsibilities and that's a good thing...even if it's hard for this mama. i just love them so much. such a treasure and gift from Jesus.
praying sweet blessings on them this new school year...
