School Time Again? Already!?

James started school again at the end of last month.  Hard to believe the summer has gone by so fast!  And especially hard to believe that he's in 1st grade!  

The week before school started.  James and I took a day to do a little school shopping.  It was great!  I was able to spend some 1 on 1 time with him and we both had a great time!  This is him at Chili's after our shopping was done.  He is enjoying a strawberry lemonade.  He probably put away about 3 of those!

He also finished off his entire pizza and all those fries!  Apparently shopping takes it outta the boy!

A few days before the first day.  He and Isabel got new haircuts!

Back to school night.  This is in the new library.  We had just met his teacher and he was flying high that she was so fabulous (and so was I!)

Right after back to school night.  We treated everyone to SubWay sandwiches.  James LOVES these!

Infact, he ordered a foot long - swearing that he wouldn't waste a bit of it.

And you know what's amazing - he ate the WHOLE THING!!!

1st Day of School!  He picked out his clothes the night before and was so excited he had the darndest time getting to sleep!

He's riding the bus this year.  With Quatro coming, I thought that would be the best and easiest on the lot of us.  And you know - he LOVES it!  It's one of his favorite parts of the day!  This is him at the end of the day after being dropped off.

Day 2.  Again - he chose his clothes.  I think he had a personal goal to wear a different Star Wars shirt each day until they were all gone.  And you know - that's exactly what he did!  He made it to Friday before he had to branch out themes!  ;-)

Waiting for the bus.

And there he goes!

Meanwhile, these two monkeys are keeping me plenty occupied.  They are so adorable and they play together SO well!
