Back to School

The weekend before school started, I gave one of my most epic haircuts.  All was fine until I started doing some blending.  It wasn't until I nearly scalped Hudson that I realized I didn't have the guard on.  Hudson is a very cool kid and was hardly phased by it.  When others would have been really upset and accusatory for ruining their first day of middle school, Hudson down played it saying that he hardly could tell.  Just another reason I love this boy of mine.

These two are officially my big kids now.  Hudson moving to the middle school and Dalanie to the upper hall.  They can fight with the best of them, but both still really look out for one another.

Both Hudson and Dalanie have a cousin in their grade.  To date, Hudson and Hailey have only shared the same class in third grade.  I think they could pass as twins.

We pre-registered so Dalanie was't able to pick out her locker or desk.  When we showed up on the first day, I spoke up to get her a bottom locker.  She could barely reach the top lockers on her tip-tippy toes.

Being a kindergartner, Ruby started class on Wednesday.  She was a bit antsy to go but did a great job of enjoying her last few free days of summer.

She goes to afternoon kindergarten, so she gets to ride the bus home with the older kids.  It's the best of both world because she gets to sleep in too.

We have quite a crew for carpool.  It's wonderful to only drive one week a month.  There is Emma Newman, Ericka and Andre Fielding, and Stockton Christensen.  (Don't mistake the little boy in the picture for Stockton, he's CJ Prestwich.  Stockton is a redhead that has a big crush on Ruby.)
