The first day of preschool...
The boys asked for cinnamon rolls for breakfast, so that's what they got.   I let the boy pick out their clothes this morning so they would be ready.  Judd wanted jeans and boots, but when I helped him put his boots on they were pretty tight and he didn't want to wear them.  Jett got a new pair about a month ago because he had outgrown his and I guess it's time to get Judd a new pair also.  He opted for jeans shorts and tennis shoes.

On our way to town we were talking about how the boys were going to ride the bus home and Judd asked, "Do I need to pay to ride the bus?"  Valid question.

I tried not to smother them when we dropped them off.  I really would've liked to have stayed a little and watch them play and make new friends, but we left pretty quick.  The boys had no problem staying and weren't concerned at all about us leaving.  (I knew they wouldn't be.)  Sloan was disappointed she didn't get to stay.  We hadn't even been home for an hour when said asked, "When are my brothers going to be home?  I miss them."  I didn't have a hard time at all when we dropped them off, but when we got home, Saige wanted to look at pictures on the computer and we started watching videos of the kids.  Yes, I did cry just a little while watching the videos of the kids.  Not because I missed the boys that much, just because I love them and am proud of them.  I'm so glad we have pictures and videos to help us remember everything.  Ok, I'm sidetracked.  When the boys came off the bus and walked in the door, they pulled out papers they made and Jett handed one of them to each girl.

Tell me about today.
Jett: We go'd to school and we played.  We go'd to play at the playground.  We had story time and learned stuff.
Judd: We had fun with Mrs. Hoffman and we played on the playground.  We spinned on the spinner.  Jett and me helped push our friends.  We maked pictures.

What was your favorite part of school?
Jett: playing with the other kids
Judd: riding home on the bus

They wanted a picture of their backpacks

The girls were running out to meet the bus.

The first thing Jett said when he got off the bus was, "We didn't get sent to the principals office!"

After we heard about the boys afternoon, we got in the suburban and went to Greensburg.  Our friends from Germany are here visiting so we wanted to go up and see them.  Dad and Mom had pizza for supper and the kids swam.

Jens and Dorothy brought gifts for each of the kids.  They got bracelets for each of the girls and airplanes for each of the boys.
