First day of school torture!


I don't understand why my children refuse to have a first day of school pictures.... they seriously acted like I was the cheesiest, lame mom in the world! I wanted to share how cute they looked and I guess I used the wrong word...THEY ARE NOT CUTE!!!
I finally got a few and so now you can see how NOT CUTE they were on the first day of school!

Nate has Mrs. Zitto at Saratoga Shores in the 4th grade A.L.L. class and Jake has Mrs. McPherson at Harvest. I have to say what AMAZING women these 2 teachers are! They have already done so much to get to know my boys on a personal level and I am hopeful that Nate will have a positive experience in 4th grade (3rd was a STINKER!) He doesn't say that he hates school everyday which is HUGE for Nate and he is really being challenged! He has to think and he has tons of homework! I love to watch him solve problems! I can already see the change in his self esteem because he can figure things out!

Jake still has it pretty easy because they are still doing assessments to place them in rotation groups, his teacher says he's at the top from what she can see so far...he just discovered that there is more to reading than The Magic Treehouse! He is really enjoying The Boxcar Children...which was always my favorite growing up! I am such a LUCKY mommy!!!! I truly do have THE BEST KIDS in the world!

How did they get so big, so fast, both mine and yours? Nate looks pretty disgusted in those pictures, it cracks me up! You definately have some pretty "not cute" kids! Yea, for school!

They are very HANDSOME boys! Cant believe how big they are, It seemed like just yesterday that I watched them when they were just little babies.
