I've gotten so far behind in blogging, but I have to take a moment to post a few pictures of my babies' first day of school. At the end of last week, Eddie got to go to a Kindergarten Camp where they took all of the kids to their classrooms and gave them a tour of the building. They also got to practice getting on and off the bus, so they were ready for their first day of school. It was a good thing too because there were a few kids in tears to leave their moms in the cafeteria while they went on their tour with their classes. Not my Eddie though. He was all smiles and waved goodbye last week and this morning. Celeste also got to meet her teacher last week, so she knows where her desk is and who her teacher is and what he will expect from her on the first day. We don't see many male teachers anymore at the grade school level, but I'm so excited for her. I think she will have a fabulous year with her teacher. He loves magic tricks and the teachers have split the curriculum so they can each focus on their area of expertise. Her teacher loves math, so he will be teaching her math and she will have a different teacher for reading, etc. I think it will be great for her to get several different teaching styles. Her teacher also asked for me to write about her to return for the first day, so he can get to know her better. I love when a teacher wants to know about their students and be able to help them where they need it. I can't wait to hear all about their first day when they get home this afternoon.
They are both so excited to be going to school. Eddie said he was a little bit scared, but he's so excited to be going to school finally that the nerves weren't a problem. My sweet babies are growing up so fast!
Eddie with his BIG backpack jammed with everything he needs for his first day!
Celeste couldn't fit everything she was required to get in her backpack, so a plastic bag will have to do for the first day! We did luck out that they specifically asked for plain notebooks and folders, so we didn't have to fight about getting the more expensive stuff! I love when they ask for everything to be the same and I only have to spend 17 cents per notebook when she needs 8 of them!
My handsome Gordon needed his picture taken as well. He's getting so big!

*sniff sniff* They are getting so big! What are you and Gogo going to do with yourselves until baby arrives? Does Eddie go full or half day?
That shot of Gordon is a gem! I'm a little jealous that your kids had their first day of school already. I am so ready! Glad that they had a good day. Enjoy your time with Gogo!
So far, Gordon and I have watched the Iron Man movie everyday. We've also gone shopping, done laundry, baked banana bread together and he helps me with the dishes. We do a lot of cuddling on the couch and reading the same books over and over! We're going to start setting up play dates with some twins in the ward who are the same age as Gordon, just a few weeks younger.
