And they're off...

To school that is, and the house is a bit quieter some days and the rooms a bit neater, and the clutter a little more picked up (for a few hours that is), but I have to say I miss my little friends.  I mean of course the break is nice and I've actually gotten a few things done each day, but I do look forward to seeing their sweet faces and hearing their stories about life on the playground.

So Braden started Junior-Kindergarten at a sweet little private Christian school and he goes three days a week.  It's kind of like real school in that he goes to Spanish and P.E. and Bible class and Art and Music...plus he wears a uniform.  The worst part though is that he has to be there at 8am on the dot or he gets a tardy...that is certainly hard for this momma (who has never been on time for anything in her life).  I'm just still trying to wrap my brain around how we are at this point...where my little boys are grown up and going to school.

 And whatever Braden does, Asher has to do...
Asher definitely misses Braden on the days he's at school, I am always hearing him walk through the house saying, "where's Bray-Bray?"

 The Junior -Kindergarten class parade -
 Asher goes to Mother's-Day-Out twice a week at the same school that he and Braden attended last year together.  I get to have Asher with me on Wednesdays while Braden is in school and I sure am thankful for his sweet little companionship on those days.  He's like my little buddy, my shadow that just bums around with me all day long.  I just hate that he too is growing up so very fast!!!

Here he is ready for his first day...gazing out the window, ready to get in the car well before I was - 
 He was so excited to see all of his friends from last year -
And our "first day of school" tradition (3 years strong now) is to go and get ice cream to celebrate a new year...
