First day of preschool 2010

Today was the first day of preschool for both of the kids and what an exciting day it was for all of us.  The kids have new teachers and new rooms with new toys.  Momma was also very excited because she thought she was finally going to have some quiet work and errand time, but little did she realize that today was also an early release day. Someone in our county needs to have their head examined.  Who in the world creates a schedule where kids are out of school on Monday, go back on Tuesday and then get out early on Wednesday? That is like torture for parents, especially the ones whose kids only go to school three days a week. 

Enough of that, on the bright side I did get to run errands without buckling and unbuckling two kids in carseats at every stop I made and waiting until their little legs could climb down out of the vehicle. I can accomplish twice as much without the kids as I can with them and boy did I try to take advantage of that today. I love having my children with me, but boy can I knock out a to-do list quick without them in tow.

After their big two hour first day at school, we had a lunch date with our special friends Andria, Chloe, Emma, and soon to be baby Allie. What special friendships have been formed with them since our first year in preschool and now it seems like we have known them forever.

So, here's to a great year in preschool.  To my little Buckaroo and my little Monkey, I hope your school year is filled with many laughs, much learning, and special memories to last a lifetime.
