Carson's 1st day of Preschool



Carson has been waiting for his first day of preschool for over a year now!

He was so excited and kept asking if it was his day yet.
His teacher is Mrs. Draper
There are 20 kids in his class, and more are still being added (How did my boys end up in the large classes?)

I'll be volunteering in his classroom as often as possible, but when I'm not, it will be nice to have some girl time while the boys are both at school!

Cooper's first day of 1st grade!



I can't believe Cooper is old enough for 1st grade!

Last Tuesday was supposed to be Cooper's first day, but since we went with Randall on a work trip to Oregon, he missed the first two days and didn't start until Thursday, August 25th.

His teacher is Mrs. Goodman
He'll tell you he doesn't like school, but he really does. He's a quick learner and does really well in school.
He has a large class (I think there are 29 kids in his class! Compare that to the class underneath him- only 15 kids.)

They changed the bus routes this year, and I have to say- I don't really like them that much. Last year the bus came super early in the morning- 6:40 am. So, I just took Cooper to school every morning. Then he rode the bus home. He was the 2nd stop in the afternoon, so he was only on the bus for about 10 minutes.

Now, the bus comes at 7:20 am, but he rides a different but in the afternoon and doesn't get home until 5:10 pm! Crazy! So, I'm trying to get him up and ready so he can ride the bus in the mornings, but I'll probably end up driving him in on the days Carson has preschool. And there is no way I'm letting him ride the bus for that long in the afternoon, so I'll be picking him up from school as well. So, on days that Carson has preschool, this is what my day looks like:

7:55 am: Drop boys off at school
11:50 am: Pick Carson up from preschool
3:50 pm: Pick Cooper up from school

I don't know how I'm going to get anything done this school year!
