Football Widow

 Kate and Kirk ready to go and catch the school bus on the first day of school. 

 Kate standing in front of her bulletin board at school.  Kirk wouldn't allow me to take a picture of him at his class room.  I guess having your mom take pictures in front of your class isn't cool. 

 Benjamin starting preschool.  This actually wasn't his first day.  His first day he was a little more nervous, and wasn't all smiles.  But as you can see he loves preschool now!

Well tonight I'm a football widow.  It's the biggest game of the year if you are a BYU or U of U fan.  For Dan's sake I really hope BYU wins.  Last night he couldn't even sleep!  Anyways I thought I'd post some pictures of the kids first day of school.  Kirk has started first grade, and Kate is in second grade.  Benjamin has started preschool.  They have been very excited, I was very excited too.  This summer seemed especially long since they started back to school a week later than usual.  Carefree easy summers a fun for awhile, then I start feeling ready for routine, and structure which a school schedule gives.  Also it's good for the kids to get out of the house, they were going crazy with boredom.  Fall is my favorite time of the year.  The kids LOVE their teachers.  This is Benjamin's first year of preschool, and it has been great for Benjamin to get a chance to get out of the house, and enjoy some social time.  He goes to the same preschool teacher Kirk went to Miss Sharon, we just love her.
