My camera's battery died (always happens at the worst times, doesn't it?), so I could only get this picture with my cell phone. Despite what is pictured below, McQueen is not at all sad to start school. He is instead thinking it is funny to not pose. Sadly, I was unable to get any other photos that were not blurry. Tinkerbell seemed extremely worried about her hair and her clothes for the first day though.
Yesterday the kids started their first day of Kindergarten! I cannot believe that I have kids that are old enough to be in Kindergarten! I drove down to see the kids off to class on their first day. I had a lot of fun walking with them to their classes, seeing their classrooms, and seeing their teachers. They seemed so excited for their first day. They have only seemed more excited by school as I talk to them each day. I am sure it will wear off eventually, but for now they are loving it.
Tonight I went to Back to School Night at their school and got to know their teachers. The first thing I found out was that McQueen got his first bee sting from a wasp that morning at recess. He seemed to handle it well, but it was so sad to hear, as the teacher told me what happened. Later, I found out that the kids have been trying to find a Gingerbread Man that ran away. It was so fun to hear the kids excitement as they told me about this. Their teachers are great and I am very confident they will do a great job, and will really love the kids. Tinkerbell's class has a pet guinea pig named Golden Boy. McQueen's teacher loves fish and has everything "fish" throughout the classroom.
- The Sunday before their school started, I gave each of the kids a Father's blessing. I gave Tinkerbell her blessing first. Right before I was going to give McQueen a blessing, he said, "don't make it a really LONG blessing." I said, "well, we will have to see how many blessings our Heavenly Father has for you." He said, "okay" and sat in the chair. After his blessing was finished, he said, "Holy Cow! I DID NOT know Heavenly Father would have so many things to bless me with!
