School Starts

A new school year and a new routine.

 

Countdown to the first day of school.

 

 

Father's Blessings for Family Home Evening.  (This was Bryant's journal entry.  Of all the kids he by far experience the most anxiety over starting a new school.)

 

Sariah and Hyrum on their way to catch the bus on the first day of school.

 

The big boys get up at 5:30, we read scriptures at 6 (or shortly thereafter) and then they are off with James at 6:30.  We wish he could just take them to school, but they would get there too early.  He drops them off at the end of the road to catch their bus.
 

I run at 6:30 and when I get back I wake up Sariah and Hyrum.  I do everything I can to get some food in Hyrum (he is not an early morning breakfast eater) so that by 8:10 they are off to catch their bus by 8:20.

 

We come home, get breakfast cleaned up, have preschool with Rex and Lyle, and then they watch Super Why while I take a shower.  They play together until it's time to go get Hyrum off the kindergarten bus at 12:15.
 

Wish I would have had my phone to capture Lyle on the way to pick up Hyrum.  He had his Batman mask on, blue bandana ties around his neck cowboy style, and Zorro sword in hand.  The best part was watching his little Batman shadow trying to stomp on the shadow of my head as we walked.  Happy boy.

Labor Day Family Home Evening

(Trying to help Bryant get his mind off going back to school the next morning.)
