Another day another milestone. Fisher started kindergarten today. I love how the school does it. Yesterday was orientation day. It warms the kids up to the idea of school (and the parents too:). Yesterday we show up with our kindergartner at 9:00, go through class rules, get a tour of where the bathrooms are, the library, and even got to take a bus ride around town!!!



Then they sent the parents home at 11:00. The bus department gave the parents an orange ribbon to put on our mailboxes to ensure that the bus drivers wouldn't pass by our house when dropping our kids off.

So yesterday was an introduction to a day at school, but today was the "official" day of school.

Lance and I walked them down to the driveway and waited, and talked with them and of course had to get the first day pictures!



Fisher was grumpy and didn't want to go, but Trapper and I enticed him with money to get himself an ice cream after eating lunch (they sell them in cafeteria Tues. and Thurs.)!

Our bus driver, Myra, is the best driver, and possibly, the nicest person, in the entire world! She always has a big bright smile on her face and loved these kids like they are her own. This morning she opens the door and with arms stretched out exclaims to the kids "I'm here!!!"





5 of my 6 children go to school. This has never happened before. I have 1 child at home, with none coming up from behind like in the past. It's kinda nice, but I am sentimental, and I miss my monkeys....
