First day of school

Cloe starts 2nd grade, Dakota starts 1st grade and mom started and worked at the middle school helping a para for the first couples this of school so Paige's first day at Mindy's daycare.  

I must say that dropping off Paige was quit dramatic. Tears and kicking and screaming and pulling at the door as I tried to escape. Guilt filled day and then when I returned she had a great day as mindy's helper and even got cookies.  :) kids!

Drop off at the bus stop

The kids walking home from off the bus, proud mom and dad. Dare I say I thought tears were close to dads eyes.

Kota first place art at the county fair!

Kota's moth :) she has really been observant of the insects.  She took this picture and liked this moth a lot.

The kitties attempt to get the monarch.

Girls reading in their new rooms, I enjoyed watching this.
