The first day of school was a little crazy for this crew - well maybe just for mama. I had to leave by 7am to prep for the BooHoo Breakfast, which meant that Kevin was in charge of getting all THREE munchkins dressed and out the door (as well as himself). I woke both of them up at 6:30 and let's just say they weren't thrilled with the early wake-up call. Grayson cried, I think he was mainly tired but he also said he was worried that he didn't know how to read. And Ryan, well he just didn't want to get up. And he is usually my early bird! Apparently once they were up and getting ready they started to get excited!
So I left at 7am...
I mean, let's be honest. I did lay everything out for the boys and pack their lunches and backpacks so Kevin wouldn't be too flustered. The chalkboard signs were also laid out in the middle of the hallway as a gentle reminder. Kudos to daddy! He did awesome!

We met in the cafeteria and all went to the kindergarten wing to drop Grayson off. Hayden led the way. In her PJs. Thank goodness I actually had her in matching ones. lol. Anyhow, Grayson was quiet - I suppose a little nervous but excited too! The kinder class was nuts so we didn't snap a pic with his teacher - I ended up grabbing one at pick up!
We are thirlled that Grayson has Ms Littlefield - same teacher Ryan had!
Ryan asked me to take him to his room - which makes my heart smile. I love that he wanted me with him. He also seemed a little nervous but when we got to his room he found his desk and got settled. His class was a little less chaotic so we were able to grab a pic with Miss Corrigan. She seems so sweet and we are so excited to be in her class this year!
Once drop-offs were finished I headed back down to the cafeteria to the Boo Hoo Breakfast. It was crazy crowded and our tacos had still not arrived. Yikes. We stalled for a little bit and I stalked Rusty Taco...it was supposed to be delivered at 7:30...and didn't get there until 8:10!!! Oye.
Anyhow, not sure that any of the new parents knew my stress level and everything was actually fine. It is a casual and fun event for parents to meet new parents, but I definitely have some notes on changes I need to make for next year!
After cleaning up Hayden and I got back home around 9:30 - I changed her out of her PJs and we basically headed right back up to the school to help out with Kinder lunch.
Once lunch finished Hayden and I headed back home and I kinda crashed. I was exhausted and laid on the on the couch while Hayden watched a My Little Pony episode...or three...who's counting. Lol
Around 1pm I was ready to pick the boys up - I actually felt like the day was dragging! And trust me, that never happens! I was just so excited to pick those little nuggets up and hear how their days were. I still can't believe Grayson is in Kinder!
Hayden and I headed back up to school for pick up - I grabbed Ryan from the white top and then Grayson from his classroom. They appeared to be tired but still wanted to play on the playground with friends, so we did!
Getting information out of them was a challenge. I may have bribed them with ice cream. Grayson said he enjoyed it but that he had to do "so many things, like 10 things mom!" I think preschool was a little less busy! He also said that he saw Audrey in the hallway and she waved to him! He was pretty happy about that. Ryan was excited and really seemed proud to be a 2nd grader! I think he is starting to feel like a BIG kid now that his little brother is a kinder kiddo.
Little after-school treat at TCBY...with everyone else in East Dallas. The line was crazy! But so worth it - love those sweet little smiles!
So excited about this school year!
