School

Dropping off Kade and Tenley at school this morning was pretty hard, but they were both so excited about it that it made it a lot easier to let them go. Brad was also able to come with me. His staff likes to drop their kids off on the first day of school, so the office opened later than usual. I like that tradition and the kids and I loved having Brad with us.
Ryder was pretty mopey without Kade and Tenley. He asked for them several times. I think it will take some time for him to get used to a new routine, but we'll get there. Ryder and I kept ourselves busy at T.J. Max and Hobby Lobby. It was a good excuse to get some home decor shopping done and keep myself away from a way too quiet house.
Every Wednesday is an early release day at their new school so Ryder and I didn't have to wait too long after lunch to go and pick them up. Tenley had a big smile on her face when I saw her. She said she loves school! She made new friends and LOVES her teacher.
Kade loves his teacher as well and his gym teacher was as funny as his Dad, he said. He loved recess and was able to see friends there and at lunch.
I'm so grateful for our new school. The principle and the teachers are all very nice. We're so happy to be here!
Tenley went to bed so excited that she gets to go to school tomorrow. She keeps asking, "Is this a dream!?" She's been looking forward to this day for a while now!
