First day of school!

Successful first day of school today!  We started with eggs and toast by dad and new clothes by mom.

 Roby has Ms. Roho.  We LOVE Ms. Roho and are thrilled to be in her class.  She is 100% lovely.  Roby made sure his hair was brushed and all in place before school.

 Eli also has Ms. Roho.  We are thrilled (also.)

 Anna has Ms. B. who used to be Ms. D (pre-marriage, when SJ had her for 2nd.)   Anna has a tough cohort.  We're hoping for a good year this year.

Sarah Jane has Ms. Goyen.  Ms. Goyen reportedly gives a lot of homework and is very strict.  Fifth grade is for reals.

 

 We got goofy at the end of the photo shoot.

 Then we went to Grandma & Zeke's to walk to school

 Grandma walked with us.

 So did dad.

 Zeke and his camera were there too.

 We paused for a final picture.

 Anna went with Dave to find Ms. B.

 Sarah Jane found Ms. Goyen with me.

 And more importantly, Emma.

 Anna found Isabella.

Grandma & Zeke helped Eli & Roby find Ms. Roho.  Roby carefully told her that their mother would pick them up after school and then Eli carefully asked Grandma to inform their mother of said fact.

 Everyone ended school with smiles and reports of good moments.  After school we gathered up 10 children and walked to Grandmas.

There were some of our regulars and some newbies as well.  We looked at the fish pond on the way home, per tradition.

 We had cheese and crackers, lemonade, and fresh baked cookies, per tradition.

While the kids enjoyed their snacks, the mothers screwed 400+ light bulbs into the market lights for the upcoming wedding in the backyard.  Very efficient!  All in all a lovely first day of school.
