I should start this post off by bragging on my parenting skills.
The night before school, (or the last day of summer as I like to call it) we had One Direction tickets. Like any good parent would do, we stayed up late partying the night away and put our kids to bed tired and without a bath.
We are lucky we all made it out the door at all.

But thankfully, everything is just so much easier the second time around.
We are so so excited to be going back to the same school for the first time. We loved it last year and the kids already feel at home and excited for this year (and obviously more prepared because sass has her glasses on. Everything is just more clear this year all around).
They do this fantastic thing on the first day when the kids arrive where they have a blue and red carpet that the kids walk down to go inside. While they are walking into the building, the principal says their name into a microphone as a few other teachers stand along the carpet and cheer. For every single kid in the whole school. It seems like a small thing, but every time it just makes me cry.
Ben and Sass are in the same class again (Yea!) and they have lockers this year. We saw them the at meet the teacher and then Ben possibly wore that shirt again under his first day of school shirt. Maybe never took it off...
My mom gave the kids some money for back to school and instead of spending it on clothes (like we should have), the kids got build a bears and legos. We got Shea a build a bear with a recording of the kids saying that they love her inside of it. I know she loves hearing their voices and misses them when they are gone.
I am praying so much for this year. For all their teachers and for the school. I am just so thankful that God has led us to this place with these amazing families and kids. I am so thankful for the effort that all the teachers and principals put into their learning and just their overall school experience. They push the kids to do their best, but they also love them and encourage them and listen to them. I cant wait to see what this year holds!
