Bye, Bye, Boys!


Our day yesterday (Sunday) began at 7:15am when me and the boys left grandma Peterson's in Canada to come home after a six-day visit. The 12-hour drive went pretty well. I was lucky to have my mom in the passenger's seat to tend to my kids, and read me PEOPLE magazine. Being the airhead that I am, I left my camera home, so no pictures right now. Stacy's family came too, and I talked her into snapping a few for me. I'll blog about Canada as soon as I get pics! Anyway, we got home yesterday at about 7:30pm - just in time to get all the kids bathed, and in bed for their first day of school. Here's how it went...
Chase started Kindergarten. When I picked him up, he couldn't quit talking about soda crackers. I don't even know what they are (are they saltines?) Then, after thinking a little more about his time at school he said, with dissapointment, "but I didn't leawn how to wead - she didn't teach me". We keep telling him that he will learn how do read in kindergarten, so he was frustrated when after two and a half hours of school, he was still illiterate...poor Chase :(Logan is in a portable this year. That's a good thing since the school doesn't have A/C. He looked so big in his grown-up classroom. I can't believe he's in second grade! Luckily this year, he's back with his good friends Jackson, and Sam. He's a really responsible kid, and will do great. I'm so proud of him:)

Those boys have the cutest mom EVER! My advice--enjoy 2nd grade and kindergarten. Things get incredibly complicated later! (By the way, since I want to be just like you, I started a blog--you should check it out--it's tomandjuliefamily.blogspot.com.

They look sooooo cute. I wonder how long they will let you dress them alike? I'm not sure you can pull it off in middle and high school....

I love Chase's expression - that is so Chase! I can't believe how big they are getting. Even though we see them periodically, I always think of them as being stuck at the ages they were in Boise! We miss you guys so much!

Did you look that cute and put-together first thing in the morning? Please tell me that the picture was taken in the afternoon! No one should get to look THAT good that early...

The boys are getting too big! Does Logan have a stand-alone desk? Some of mine need that, for sure!

Love the pics of your kids. You do a lot better job than me with the camera, I kind of took our first day of pictures a week later.
