School Days

Since the kids are now starting their third week of school, I decided it was a good time to go ahead and let everyone know how they are doing! Mallori is in first grade in Ms. Gardner's class.

Both of the kids seem to really be enjoying school this year. So far no color changes for either one! Mallori hammed it up for her first day of school pictures. The lighting was a little off though, her hair turned out bright red in all of the pictures we took outside (looked like I died it with food coloring!) You have to love Photoshop!

See the bee on her shirt in the picture below? That's to remind her to bee sure to remember her manners. I think it worked until the end of school when the teacher's saw her mom and called her and Laci. From what I hear, there were major waterworks from both of the girls. We had to have a little discussion on appropriate behavior in the car pick up line. We also told her to tell the teacher's that ____ was picking her up today. We made sure she understood that no one else can keep up with her crazy schedule!

Along with a little threat from Daddy that he would personally go pick her up every day if she did it again, I think it worked! It only happened that first day. Here's Daddy walking her into school the first day, and a picture at her desk.

Jace is starting pre-school at All Faith's in Silsbee. In true Jace form, he walked right in and made himself at home. He spoke to his teacher, found his seat, and started working on a puzzle. Once he was finished with that, he helped two little girls clean up their mess and then we we went outside to check out the playground.

He was a super good sport and let me take lots of pictures on his meet the teacher day.

However, the little toot told me I could only take one picture of him the first day of school...

Good thing Mommy is quick with her camera!

On the first day of school I asked them each a few questions. I thought it would be neat to see how their answers change over the years!
