First Day of School

Easton should have started school on Monday, the day Autumn was born. However, we really wanted to be there for his first day so we didn't have my mom take him on Monday or Wednesday.

But Friday we all wanted to be there...even me...which meant we all had to get ready. Here is Autumn on her set-up next to our bed:


She was wearing a light green onesie and at breakfast Easton noticed, "You guys match!" so he took a picture of us:


Then it was time for us to all pile into the car for the first time. Three across works out just fine with two of the seats being Radians. Hooray for not having to buy a new car!


I wanted to be there for E's first day of school, but knew I shouldn't do too much. I bid my boy farewell from the side of the car:


Pre-K already! What a big boy he's getting to be.

Drop off went just fine. Easton brought a keychain with a picture of Autumn in it to show off but his teacher had him hand it right back to his dad to hold for him. :( Oh well. We had a strong feeling that might happen.

While E was at school the rest of us ran a few errands. Jason dropped me off at the door of Walgreens and I bought new milk sippies for Dalton (that's the only spot to get cups he'll use for milk) and do the Huggies wipes deal again. So, I was in the store by myself. And no one asked when I was due or anything. I felt good about that...maybe in more of a "is she or isn't she?" kind of place belly-wise.

Then we all drove up to stock up on groceries at Wal-Mart. I'm not even lying when I tell you I got a motorized cart so as to not over-do it:


At one point I had to speed Dalton over to the potty and then when we came back, Jason reported Autumn was starving. I tried to find a bench out of the way to nurse her but came up empty handed so I carried her in one arm and steered my cart with the other to the exit and then we had to find the car. J had dropped me off at the door so I had no idea where they'd parked...good thing our car has a "panic button" which I was able to hit briefly so I'd know which way to head. I ended up nursing Autumn in the car:


We came home for a few, Jason put the groceries away and Dalton doted on Sissy:




I was so glad to hear E had had a good day at school. It was kind of non-monumentous this time around because he'd started later than everyone and because of all the changes going on at home. Oh well. I can pretty much guarantee kindergarten next year and D's first year of preschool will be a much bigger deal than this year.
