Back to school - BIG CHANGES!

It's fall, and that means back to school time! The lineup this year is:

Marin - 6th

Maddie - 5th

Max - 2nd

Marcus.... DRUMROLL PLEASE!!! Entering full day kindergarten!!!

And the best part of this lineup is that all four of them are at the same school, for the one and only time in their lives. I love it! It's going to be glorious and special and awesome.

I cried my entire eyes out for 3 days following Marcus' first day. And now I'm fine :)

Hey, speaking of all the kids being at Quatama, I might even break my record from last year of how many times a week a parents can be called up to the health room! (Side comment - this is why I don't have a job)

Anyway, everyone was very excited to bring our little caboose of the family to school, and to show him everything including THE BUS. Basically, nobody needs me, they have each other now ;) Until 2:40 then they all need me at once. I wish I had four pairs of ears so I don't miss any of these stories and announcements each afternoon. It's awesome and I love everything about this.

So, what will I be doing with my time? Don't mind me, I'll just be over here updating the blog and eating bon-bons! (Do they still make bon-bons? I feel like I need to investigate this)

The Corrigan sibs!

I can barely handle his handsome hairdo

Reuniting with special friends

Snuggles before he goes off to become an adult

Fun fact: this was Marin's "kinder" t-shirt from
six years ago! He wanted to wear it on the first day

Strolling into school with zero need to be
holding my hand. I'm running to catch up ;)

Our amazing principal - red carpet treatment!

I insist on a mom/son selfie even though the bell has rung.

First bus ride. He and Busdriver John
are already best friends.
Shocker :)

Four backpacks, lunch bags & coats.
What a sight!
