First Day of . . . SCHOOL!!

Well, we went to check out a preschool for Mason on Wed. for the fall, and they informed up that they still had openings for this spring if he wanted to start now. We decided to try it. He was very apprehensive about us leaving him there. We tried to hype it up by having him help us pick out his lunch, and his clothes, and talking about the trampoline they have inside. When none of that worked, we opted for a good ole bribe of a 4-wheeler ride (the weather worked in our favor). Today, Friday, was his first day. As soon as he got up, I asked him, in my oh-so-cheery-ready-for-school voice, if he was excited for school! He reply was, no! OK, great start! Once we got ready, he wanted to wear his book bag to the truck, then when we got there, he said," look there's my school!" with a small bit of excitement. Then I practically had to speed walk to keep up with him walking in. He walked right in, with a small quiver of his chin and watery eyes when I gave him a kiss and told him I would pick him up in a little while. 4 LONG hrs later, Kenny and I were practically racing in the doors to pick him up! He had a huge smile on his face and couldn't wait to show us all he had done for the day! Overall, a huge success. He loves it. Now if mommy and daddy could hurry and get used to it!!!
Audrey and I took advantage of our time and had a girls day with Jessica (Grants fiancee). We went to try on and pick out Audrey's flower girl dress for their wedding in July. She had a ball. She's so girly, this was right up her ally!

Mason before school, a little nervous!



Starting to get excited



Racing in to school! That book bag is almost bigger than him!

The aftermath! A very happy kid, either he had a great time or is really relieved that his parents came to get him. . . probably a little of both!


Such a little princess!
