Early Monday morning, three of our kids started school. Since they are in a charter school, they started three days earlier than the regular school district. They were so excited. Eryn started 6th grade... she gets to have a locker and has 6 different classes each day. Kaitlyn is in 4th grade this year, and it's sure to be an adventure. Bryson started 1st grade, and will be going all day this year. That's quite a change after 1/2 day kindergarten. Everyone had to get up quite early, since school starts at 8:00. The nice part is that they wear uniforms, so picking out an outfit is easy! We got there plenty early, and I was able to walk Bryson to class (after which he let me know that it was unnecessary). I really had a hard time leaving him, knowing he'd be there all day. You'd think I'd have that part down by now, since I've already gone through it twice before, but I don't. When I went to pick them up that afternoon, they all said that it was great, and they couldn't wait to go back the next day! Hooray for school.
And what were Hayden and I doing while the rest were gone? We babysat my new little niece. My sister had to go back to work (which was very hard for her) and we got to take care of Harlie. She was such a sweetie. Hayden kept wondering why she couldn't get down and crawl so she could play. I told him that she would be able to in a few months. He was excited to hold her and thought she was just the cutest!
And then we went outside to enjoy what's left of summer. Hayden LOVES playing in the water and getting all wet.

What a fun first day of school. They all look so cute!! I'm sorry your sister had to go back to work so soon. It was so hard for me to go back!!
What cuties! They all look so excited! Wish I had some one for Hayden to play with. I remember Ellie was board to pieces too.
What a great way to get your "baby fix" in! :) And yet still be able to sleep through the night!
Harlie is adorable, as are your kids!
You seriously have a 6th grader, WOWZERS!!! Love the pics, your kids are beautiful and your new little niece is a doll, how fun to have a little baby in the house again for a few hours.
What cute pictures of your kiddos. I can't believe you have a 6th grader...and I can't believe I have a 4th grader. These kids are growing up too fast. But how fun you get to watch your niece. Thanks for your words of encouragement...I am trying to hang in there with this pregnancy.
Can you believe that you only have 1 kid that isn't in school? Crazy! They all look so cute dressed up and ready to head out to school. It looks like Hayden had tons of fun in the sprinkler!
Your kids look dang cute on the first day of school :) Oh Jodie's little girl is so cute.
