Ok so here are a bunch of pictures from the first day of school. I know it is totally out of order but I had to get them on here. The kids just look too cute in their uniforms! I am one of those moms who has prayed and prayed about homeschooling. I really used to wondered why God didn't put it on my heart but I can honestly say that he didn't. I absolutely love school but I deeply hate being away from my kiddos. I am blessed to have found a school that lets me (encourages me) to be a part of school, at the school, on a daily basis if I wanted. Now don't get me wrong, I do not go to school every day with the kids but I am there a lot and I love it. I don't know how teachers do it though, I am wiped out by the end of the day. They have some of the neatest friends at school and I love seeing them shine Gods light in a school setting.
Carson started Pre-K this year, 3 half days a week. He really enjoys school and is used to it since I have been dragging him with me for the past 4 years while I help out in Colton's and Caitlyn's class rooms. He is so different than the other 2. It didn't take him long to come out of his shell and he actually had to sit in the time out chair for being "too talkative". That has never with the other 2 and I really can't see it ever happening with them. Carson beats to a different drum though and he is a fun little guy. He tells me every detail about all his new friends, who by the way, are all girls.
Caitlyn started 2nd grade and we are so fortunate to have Colton's teacher from last year. She is an amazing lady and Caitlyn loves her. She is doing great and has been with a lot of the same friends since kindergarten. She has a really neat group of friends. She is a little sweetheart! Things seem to be catching on quickly with her this year and her eagerness to learn is fun and exciting.
Colton is in 3rd grade and he is really having a fun year. Colton is one of those kids who everything comes easily to him. I can honestly say I have never really had to explain much to him, he does his homework in the car on the drive home so it "is out of the way" and never has to study for tests. Lucky kid. He has an amazing work ethic and tries to do his best in all that he does. He is like that with sports too. He has a pretty natural athletic ability and loves, loves, loves almost any sport.

Carson wanted Colton to help him tuck in his shirt and
Caitlyn to help him get his belt on. I always dress all 3
of them in the same colors.
3 little cuties!
Carson lining up to go into class
My eyes were watery...from allergies of course 
So I got a smooch through the fence!
He is my little love bug, just melts my heart!
Colton would never yell that to me! :)
been together since Pre-K. Colton used to be taller
than him, I think every kid is
having a growth spurt except Colton.
Picking Carson up from school. I took him to McDonald's
for lunch and then he passed out as soon as we got into the car.

This was Carson's first day at Chapel. The students go to chapel every Wednesday at ECA.
The 6th graders are called their Chapel Chums and pick them up in their class rooms and walk
them across the street for Chapel. When Chapel is over they walk them back over to the classroom
and stay and play on the playground with them and read and color with them. Sometimes they do
projects with them also. We were so fortunate to be at ECA when Colton was in Pre-K because
Kayla, his cousin, got to be his Chapel Chum. It was so sweet.
How fun!!!! BUT....if God DOES ever lay homeschooling on your heart....let me know!! I might know a group of moms and kids that would love to hang out with you and your kids!!!! Miss you guys!
