Back to School Night

This was the start of our back to school night - bouncy houses and a caterpillar. Audrey crawled in through the chest and exited, well, where you exit. :-) The inflatables were the kids' reward from their fundraiser last year and man were they huge! We then went in to find out who Audrey's teacher and classmates would be and we are so excited because her great friend and next-door neighbor, Finn, is in her class!! We're really surprised he is the only one that she knows, because there are quite a few kids from her PreK class going to our school plus another friend who lives across the street. Here are some pictures from her classroom.

Her area at the table.

She will sit at the "red" table.

Did not want her picture taken.

Her teacher had some things that she still needs for the class so I volunteered to make valances for the windows and dress-up clothes, like vests. I'm sure I will be asking for help (Mom) with the dress-ups; the curtains I can handle.

We then headed to the other side of the school for Luke's 3/4 combined classroom. He is so excited he gets a locker! And Audrey is excited she fits it in. :-)

Overall, they are excited to go to school. I am thrilled to have one stop in the morning instead of two before I head to work. Audrey is very eager to learn but Luke is not eager for nightly math homework. I can't believe Audrey is old enough for school but so excited for her at the same time. My hope is that Luke is a supportive big brother while they are in the before and after school program until Audrey gets comfortable. We are so lucky to have two kids who love to learn and I hope that continues!
