FIFTH grade!

Day One. School began on a Tuesday which is kind of nice to have a short week the first week. The kids had a wonderful day! They got to see all their classmates and get to know the ropes of 5th grade. 🙂 After I dropped them off at school I went to the Day One mother’s prayer breakfast. It was a wonderful time gathering with over 300 moms in our district and praying for our children, teachers, and staff.

They had another great day and we grabbed snow cones afterwards and chatted about their second day of 5th grade. 🙂 IMG_8088IMG_8092Day 3 – Thursday…I love getting pictures and videos from their teachers. IMG_8098 2IMG_8122FRIDAY! We made it 4 days of 5th grade. 🙂 IMG_8114Sunday after church Anna Claire and I headed to NC to a baby shower while the boys had a fun afternoon at the batting cages and playing golf.IMG_8136IMG_8137IMG_8144IMG_8157First Monday of 5th grade was great!IMG_8151Pictures before school on Tuesday – just because I think they’re cute!IMG_8162IMG_8163Just a peek into the life of a PTA mom – buying fruit snacks and a helium tank to decorate the cafeteria for the kids and give them a sweet treat as a welcome back to school.IMG_8160We bought $50 worth of items off of each teacher’s amazon wish list. This is just one of many deliveries! 🙂 IMG_8182 2Just a quick thank you to UPS for attempting to disguise our new tv that was delivered so people couldn’t easily see it and be tempted to steal it.IMG_8168Pelicans with the Broadwells on their last night in our neighborhood. We’ll miss having them down the street!IMG_8201Happy Wednesday! Our sweet girl is an anchor on the morning news show for her school. We are so proud of her for trying out and getting selected. I totally parked and sat in the front office to watch her on the tv. 🙂 IMG_8206IMG_8210I can not say it enough about how thankful I am that my kids have this opportunity to attend a great school and learn so much, make so many friends, and grow in more ways than just academically! 🙂
