Every now and then, I get a reminder that I'm getting old... things like... sharing shoes with my daughter, getting beat in an arm wrestle with my son...
AND HAVING THREE CHILDREN IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!!
That's right! Rimrock Elementary School is swarming with Stevens children this year! Thank goodness my mom helped me out with school supplies! I couldn't wait to get that enormous pile of paper, glue, and notebooks off my kitchen counter! And my poor pencil sharpener was SMOKIN' after sharpening that ridiculous amount of required pencils! The night before school began, we had our traditional Sunday FHE where we set goals, talked about standards, and gave each child a Father's blessing--a tradition that both Justin and I experienced and appreciated as children. The kids went to bed feeling calm and peaceful... but for some reason, they woke up with all sorts of crazy emotions:
They were feeling...
APPREHENSIVE, DEMONIC, and CREEPY about school!
They were feeling SILLY about school!
They were feeling CHESSY about school!
They were feeling unusually ECSTATIC about school!
What teacher wouldn't love these faces?

It was an especially big day for Carson who is Rimrock's newest raptor. Yes, look out Kindergarten. Carson has arrived! I hope they have enough room to contain his enormous imagination. At back to school night, Carson's teacher asked me to complete a write-up about Carson's personality. Oh... describing Carson was totally comical! I was giggling the entire time I was typing. He is one of a kind for sure! He may keep Miss Parker busy with all of his questions, but he's pretty hard not to fall in love with--with that twinkle in his eye and 'to die for' dimples! (I may be a little biased...) Waiting for afternoon Kindergarten to start was the longest morning of Carson's life. We finally left and arrived 20 minutes early because he just could not wait any longer!!
When 2:30 came, I couldn't wait to hear all about Carson's first day. His comment was:
Carson with his buddies, Noah, Ashton, & Mason
Waving Good-bye!
(Check out the girl in the ballerina tutu. Weird.)
When 2:30 came, I couldn't wait to hear all about Carson's first day. His comment was:"It wasn't that fun."
Haha! Too true! Welcome to school Carson. You only have about 17 years left!
I have a little tradition to have an extra special after-school-snack on the first day of school. These are candy pencils made of rolos and hershey kisses. Kyler's comment was, "Are these candles?" I tried, OKAY!!
Here's to another year of school adventures!

Such cute pictures and I LOVE the candy pencils! Carson is definitely one of a kind, his teacher will love him! I hated afternoon kindergarten for the very reason you wrote about, the WAITING to go, Ali was so obnoxious EVERY school day and I couldn't wait for the year to end! Jace is sure missing his pre school buddies and wishes he was in kindergarten with them :(
