Max's 1st day

Max started school this last Monday. He is in the 4/5 year preschool program at the same place he went last year. The drop off went great on the first day and he hasn't looked back since! Mya is also going to that same preschool this year, but her program doesn't start until next Thursday. We had a couple of tough days when I had to tell her it wasn't her turn yet! I've been able to do some fun things with her this week so that has helped.

Max's class is comprised of a lot of kids from last year along with some new ones as well. Just as I expected...he had everyone's first and last names down by the 3rd day! His program is 4 mornings a week from 8:45-11:45. I can tell it's taking a toll on him because he has been extra cranky toward the end of the day this week. Of course he got a cold on the 2nd day of school too, but I guess you take the good with the bad:) Here are our 1st day of school pictures. Mya had to have her new backpack in the pictures as well!





I have been promising my kids we'd have a lemonade stand all summer, and it finally worked out yesterday! We had it set up just in time for all the kids to see it as the bus drove by so we got lots of business! Max made over $5 selling $.25 lemonade and $.25 chocolate chip cookies! We went through almost an entire batch of cookies! It was really fun for them while it lasted, but they only lasted for about an hour and then were ready to move on. You can tell by Max's face that he was more interested in riding his bike than sitting at the lemonade stand! Daddy was our last customer and then we closed up shop:)
