Another school year=more supplies and ice cream!

Lots of changes came this year for us as the 2010-2011 school year started. First, we got both of the kids into the same daycare, and I moved to a new school that's only 10 minutes away from our house...PRAISE THE LORD!!! Last year wore me out with working in North Little Rock and then having to pick up Ben from his Nanny, ME from her daycare, and having to load them up in two carseats! Nowadays, I think I travel probably in a 10 mile radius!


A new school and all of this supplies! There's tons of stuff inside each of those boxes, too!

Anyway, the kids started their first day of school on August 16. I was worried that ME wouldn't transition well, so I drove her by her new school often throughout the summer to show it to her. Of course, the first thing she noticed was the big giant "tolors" in front of the school. So that made her super excited! To make it even better for her, our good friend Davis is in her class.

This was my attempt of taking their 1st day of school picture together. I promise that ME had a look of excitement rather than looking scared. Benjamin was too funny the second we got there. He pointed everywhere we went.


He was totally fine and happy the whole time Drew and I were there dropping him off. He even made friends instantly...until we walked away. Does the guilt ever get better with the crying when a mommy leaves their baby? Ugh!
I started a new school this year, too. And because I started at a brand new school, I felt like I had been missing a lot of time with my babies. August 19th was my first day of school, so I thought I would celebrate that day for me and my babies by taking them to Orange Leaf. Have you had it yet? It's a fun self-serve yogurt place. As you can tell, they loved it! Ben loved the chairs since they were at his height.
ME loved getting her own pink ice cream and pouring the sprinkles on top.
