Fisher Goes to Kindergarten

Well,the day finally arrived, and we sent Fisher off to kindergarten! I wasn't super emotional leading up to it, probably because he's staying at his little private preschool, but I was a hot mess the day he started! It's hard letting your baby go.



Jitter Glitter under his pillow the night before. He told me he wasn't excited about school.

eating a great breakfast to give him energy all day long!
And now, all of the usual first day pictures! He picked out his outfit and he looked so cute.




I had to document that he still loves (which might not be a strong enough word) his Lully, and still sucks his thumb. I love it and I'll be sad when he stops. Unless he develops bad teeth because of it-then I'll be glad when he stops!
I was doing ok with my emotions until we prayed out loud in the car on the way to school.I teared up. When we got there, my mom was getting a little teary eyed, so I started crying. Then, I saw my sister (Fisher and Asher are in K together), and I started boo-hooing. I managed to pull it together, though.
YaYa came to see the boys on their first day.

they're excited!

I love his toothy smile.

we were accidentally twinning!





here we go!





He had a great first day!


Jamie and I picked up the boys and took them for a special lunch and ice cream. Of course, they didn't remember anything about their day (ha!), but we gradually got some info from them.







We did some Lego therapy after lunch. I think Fisher missed me, because he wanted to sit in my lap the whole time, and was telling me "I love you" and hugging me. Not that I minded!!





day 2!

and day 3
We've had a great start to kindergarten! Afternoons are rough (it's only half day kindergarten) between dealing with 6 year old emotions and being tired, but we're managing and he seems to be enjoying school!

Summer's Last Hurrah

Well, school has started for our biggest boy, but we crammed some fun into our last week of freedom! We took the older boys to see Despicable Me 3 in theaters; it was really cute and they loved it!

ready for our day date

the three amigos




We got to visit with Kyle when YaYa babysat her last weekend. The boys love her and I think she likes them, too!



how I found this one after a swim party ha 
Fisher has been losing teeth like crazy! He's lost three within the past 2-3 weeks, and his top teeth came out about 3 days apart. He's lost a total of 5 teeth, and I love his gummy grin!




We celebrated Daddy's birthday last week. The boys helped me make him his favorite brownies, and they loved helping him blow out his candles. They were very disappointed that we didn't get him balloons. Whoops!




Soccer season has started! Sullivan has been begging to play for the past two years, and he finally got his chance! It;s going to be a great season!
