First Day of School: Take II


I struck out on most accounts for Hudson's first day of school. Hopefully his educational career is not forever marred by my failings.

After a Cool Whip and sprinkle covered waffle for breakfast, he headed out to wait for the school bus. The sun was brightly shining so I wasn't able to capture any great pictures with the bus in the background. Strike one.

The girls and I pittled around, biding time until it was time to pick him up from school. When we got to the school, there was no Hudson to be found. Apparently I was 30 minutes late. Strike two.

The kind friend that took him home recounted how Hudson had said, "My Mom said she would never forget me." And I didn't, I was just late. Late for no reason, other than I had in my head a different time. Strike three.

When the drama was over, I asked about his first day of school. "It was fine, but I still don't know how to read."

The second day was much better. I was on time and he came home singing "One eyed, one horn, flying purple people eater."

What? One whole day of school and he doesn't know how to read? What kind of school are you sending him to? :-)

He does look pretty GQ in that picture!

Oh darn. A few strikes, but he's fine. And he'll have good stories to tell.

How again is he old enough to go to kindergarten?!

Oh that post is so funny! I am going to post some pics of Housten's first day too. Can't believe they are in school! Love the pics you took of your kids.

Sounds like you had quite the start to the school year! He is growing up so fast, I remember his shower, it doesn't seem like it was that long ago. Oh, how time flies! Hope your busy season is treating you well.....
