For the first time in 5 years, I had to buy school supplies for 3 boys instead of just 1:
This is the first year that Jonah and Micah are in school all day, and the first year that they had to be at school at 8am. {Two excited first graders}: 
This is the first year we've had a child in the Middle School. We are all new to the daily schedules and class changes there. {One happy fifth grader}: 
This is the first time that Kanyon's been home alone with me all day. He does go to preschool 2 mornings a week for 3 hours at a time, but the rest of the time, he's rather bored and misses playing with his brothers. {One proud preschooler}:
This is the first time Jonah and Micah have had their own desks, and they love it! They like their teacher Mrs. Born, they like having 3 recesses, and they like having homework. They love school!
This is the first time Ammon has had his own locker instead of a cubby, and the first time he's used a combination lock! He likes school and his teacher Ms. A. He enjoys band and going to GT and trading teachers for a couple of subjects. He misses having 3 recesses, but likes the days when he goes to P.E. He's a great student!
This is the first time that Kanyon has gotten to ride the preschool bus home. He likes being a big boy and getting to be on it; he hates it when I pick him up from school instead. Right now, there's just 3 other boys in his class, and he's already made friends. Going to school truly makes him happy!
This is the first year that I've ever driven the boys to school in the morning. Last year, Jonah and Micah had afternoon kindergarten, so I drove them to school after lunch each day. For the past two years, Ammon has gotten a ride to school each morning with Grandma T. who works as the secretary at the elementary school. The 2 years before that, he rode the bus to school in the morning. The school bus does come by in the morning, and they could get a ride on that, but it stops here at 6:55, and school doesn't start until 8:00. They mostly ride the bus home after school every day, but they don't arrive home until 5:15. That's a very long day for a first grader, so I opted to let them all sleep in an extra half hour each morning and drive them to school everyday myself. This has been the biggest change for me personally, because for the past few years, I usually don't shower until 10:00am. Now I am showered by 7:30 each morning in order to get the boys up and ready for school.

YAY! for school!!
you do know you dont have to look like a princess to drop your children at school, right? i dont EVER shower before i do. i've seen several moms that dont even wear bras (and seem to think if they cross their arms, no one will notice. wrong!).
Hey Kala,
Umm, that thing on my blog isn't a button because I don't know how to do that. And I don't really know how to fix it. Sorry! If you know how to do it, let me know.
