School Days, School Days

This past week has been busy. No lie y'all. Kindergarten is not for the faint of heart, and my child is plumb wore out.

Last Friday night we "met" the teacher. That's kind of a joke since my sister-in-law is his teacher. And yes I failed, somehow, to get her in any of these pictures. And as far as getting Andrew to take a picture without making a silly face well, you'll see.







Andrew and Saylor have been together since they were itty-bitties, and now they get to go to kinder together. They are definitely best buds.





When we got home the "back to school fairy" had left Andrew some new Berenstain Bears books. He absolutely loves them. His father absolutely hates them because as far as picture books go they're on the longish side. Sorry hon' but Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Goodnight Moon just aren't cutting it anymore.


Monday morning was the first day of school, and it started bright and early.

Looking handsome in his uniform.


Three of his cousins go to the same school as he does, and his Aunt Crystal is his teacher so he has plenty of watchful eyes looking out for him each and everyday. (Yes his face is glowing. He's just that angelic. . . bahahahaha!)

On Thursday, I was in charge of the "Red Day" snack and decorations. I did apples, strawberries, twizzlers, and red juice boxes. Funny thing was most of the kids didn't touch the twizzlers but asked for seconds on the fruit. I couldn't find a centerpiece that didn't say "Happy Birthday" so the bowl of fruit became the centerpiece.



Finally, I would like to entitle the following pictures "Pictures My Husband Takes When I'm Not Looking". There are actually almost a hundred on his camera. I'm only including two. Most (all) are far from flattering. But why, for the love of all that's good and holy (and also for the eyesight of America), would he take a picture of my chubby behind? (And why, you ask, are you posting it? . . . Because I want to give you a good laugh. Also, I'm thinking I'd better cut back on the donuts.)


Why? Why? Why?

That's all . . . have a great long weekend everyone!
