The house is quiet.


It's just me and Miss Clementine now. From 8 - 3, the house is just ours and we almost don't know what to do with ourselves. Nevermind the fact that I literally have about 1000 things I can be doing. It just feels weird without them around 24/7. I got so used to it - like I do every year.

So now we're back to our sleep schedule, down at 8:30, up at 7. I pack lunches in the morning and kiss them goodbye.

And they're off.

Learning and growing.

Slightly overexposed - but they're still cute.



Sebastian made friends with the new kid and is excited about his teacher. They both have really awesome teachers this year which makes ME excited. Ethan was excited to have a friend from kindergarten in his class, but she doesn't wanna play with him this year. THAT. Made me sad.

But he's 6, in the 1st grade, and I know he'll figure it out. Kids just do. After all, it's only day 3.

My boys. 1st and 5th grade.

That seems so old. I totally remember what 5th grade was like. This is a big year for Seb.
It's gonna be a good one.

I can feel it.



P.S. School shopping is nowhere near as fun for a uniform kid as it is for a free-dress kid.
Browsing for navy and white polos, khaki shorts, and jeans? Borrr-ring!
There's not much a boy can do to personalize his uniform.

Except the shoes.
And Vans and Converse were at the top of their list this year.



And is it slightly crazy that Sebastian can fit into my shoes now?
He tried on my Converse and they fit. Like a glove. He's 10. I'm 29.



OMG - I gave birth to a weed.

Holy cow, school starting already? I teach in a catholic school and I really like that the kids wear uniforms, it really makes a difference in the classroom on the other hand, I went to catholic and as a kid, I hated my uniform, neon green socks and headbands were my creative expression!

Cute kiddos, here's to a great year!

I can't believe they have already started!? My son doesn't start school for another month (which is pretty darn late if you ask me).

Your boys are too precious!
