Yesterday was the first day of school here in Texas. We sent Ebby Lee off to first grade and Nixon to kindergarten. (Be prepared for picture overload in front of the fireplace…#warning)
This sweet girl was ready for first grade!!
And…Nixon was ready to take on kindergarten!
Sneaky two-year-old snuck in the picture at the last second. Ebby Lee is so excited about getting to walk Nixon to his class every day. Granted, he’ll probably only want her to for the first two weeks. haha! She is taking her big sister job very seriously!!
These three have my heart….yesterday was SO strange for Bowen and I. We didn’t know WHAT to do with our free time!
At this point, Bowen thinks he’s going to kindergarten too.
Watch out kinder and 1st grade!! The Slaughters are ready for you!
Bowen and I met his bestie, Ashby, and some of my mama friends in downtown McKinney for breakfast. We drowned our sorrows over bacon. #baconworkseverytime
So blessed to have these sweet mama friends in my life. We all sent someone to kindergarten or first grade this year and it was nice to enjoy a morning with these girls. They’re the best!
Then this guy and I ran some errands…(and it looks like my shoe is about to fall off…haha) we had to pick up a couple gifts, make a grocery store trip, and head home to unload it all. Bowen took a nice long nap in my bed while I got lots of stuff done.
While we were doing that, they were doing this…
While we were doing that, they were doing this…
I got this from Ebby Lee’s teacher. She has the sweetest teacher and we could not be more excited about first grade.
Then I saw this from Nixon’s awesome kindergarten teacher…
Can you imagine having an extra second to take pictures for parents when you have twenty-one kindergarteners?? I absolutely LOVED getting to see parts of their day! And…the kindness of sending these pictures wasn’t lost on me!
My view from the carpool line (caught Nix with his eyes closed) but two happy, smiling kiddos hopped in the car! The day was a success!! I said, “How was your day?”. They both responded, “GREAT!”.
A sweet neighbor dropped this off welcoming us to the neighborhood. What better day to do that?? I had made brownies for after school and this made the perfect after dinner dessert. Two desserts in one day is my kind of day!
Ebby Lee had jazz, friends came over to play, and then we had dinner (and dessert) before our bedtime routine began.
*Bath time
*Read books
*Wrestle with Dad
*Brush teeth…isn’t that everyone’s nightly routine? 🙂
The Slaughters had fabulous first days back at school. Hope you guys did as well!
