My Andrew started school on Monday! He was SO excited to go back. He is at a new school with a new teacher this year. I was sad to switch him, but he got into our home school which means he will be closer which makes me happy. Bry will take him to school on his way to work except for Friday when I take him. I had planned to pick him up from school the first week.....but Andrew had other plans. He was devastated to say the least when he did not get to go on the bus home. He now rides the bus home and he is one happy camper!
He is adjusting well and there are only 3 other kids in his class right now. They have the children with special needs start a week before the tuition kids start coming so that is nice. I am sure he will love having more friends in his class - he is such a social bug!
My futile attempt at getting a picture of these two together...standing...outside...smiling....riiiiight!
I can't believe he is back in school....I know he needs it and loves it and learns so much, but I am going to miss him. His days are quickly filling up with school, therapy, and doctor appointments. I know I will really love the weekends together as a family.
As for school shopping, this was the first year I felt like he was in need of clothes. I have been really good at getting clothes out of season and storing them until he is ready to wear them, but he is growing and I had no stock. I waited for sales...and ended up hitting Children's Place. I brought home 8 shirts, 5 shorts, 2 pants, 1 sweatshirt, 2 pairs of crocs for playing in the water, and 2 hats for $75! Not too shabby! They are nice clothes too and hopefully will last!! I didn't pay more than $2 for each shirt, except one that was like $4 and the sweatshirt was only $6. I was pretty happy leaving that store with my big bag of school clothes. One stop shop! I know he will need more pants, but he is set for now! Hooray!
**It was hard to not buy clothes for Carter with that screaming sale, but I know he has so many clothes from Drew...but I kinda regret it now - I am sure we will have more boys eventually and I am sure they would have been put to use. Oh well - maybe at the next sale, right?***

I can't believe that AZ schools starts so soon, but then I remember how many awesome breaks they get!! Such a big boy, taking the bus. Its a bit hard to let go though, isn't it?
I love the Children's Place! I try not to go in too often or I spend too much! The boys look adorable!

Wow! The summer sure has flown by! That is super cute that he wanted to ride the bus. Bailee asks me every week to go on a bus and go to school.
I can't believe that we still haven't gotten together! We will have to plan on it when I get back from Utah. I leave Monday and will get back the end of August.
