first day

And just like that the kids are back in school. Last Friday when I was at the temple Spencer took them to the school to see who their teachers would be. He texted me and my heart SANK when I saw that Emma had gotten Mr. Starr. I have only heard horrible things about him, and I even texted back "CRAP" from the temple grounds and didn't feel bad about it.

Tyler had gotten a new teacher, Mrs. Holscher. So that was great...

We had lots of anxiety leading up to Wednesday, the 27th, mostly on Emma's part but also on mine! I was losing two of my friends during the day, my helpers! And I really just enjoy them! But...the day must come eventually.

We curled Emma's hair, just like she wanted. Spencer captured this picture and I am so glad! I don't have hair or makeup done myself but WHO CARES. This is real life.

We got our annual pictures in front of our door. Man they are getting tall. Especially Emma.

We walked to school. Emma went with Spencer to her class and I kept the other 3 kids. We had to wait a while for Mrs. Holscher because the bell never rang. She is super young and super cute, and Tyler had no problem walking right in.

Ha. Sadie was thinking this was a happy occasion or something...

I waited anxiously for them to get home. Both had a great first day. Emma was funny; she expressed disgust that some people didn't dress up and make that extra effort for the first day. Love that girl. Tyler kept saying how "nice" his teacher is. Hallelujah!
