1st day of school for Josh and Jared

Talk about a couple of goofballs.  They were both excited for school to start this year.  Every year the kids line up on the blacktop next to the school and find their teachers.  We all say the "Pledge of Allegiance" together and moms and dads give last hugs and kisses, snap a few pictures, and wave goodbye to the kiddos for a few hours. 
Josh is in 5th grade...oh, my!  I can't believe I'm the mom of a 5th grader.  He was happy with the teacher he got for homeroom this year, Mrs. Sutter.  He will start rotating to other classrooms for different subjects this year, a precursor to middle school I guess.  As the smell of Axe body spray rolls out of his room, I realize he is starting to take hygiene a little more serious this year.  I just wish someone would invent "stinkless" socks and shoes.  He could use 1/2 can of body spray, but I can still smell those feet!
Jared is super excited for this year.  He is with Mr. Knight, who Josh had last year.  What a great teacher!  You can just tell how much he loves his job and treats each child with respect.  I'm looking forward to spending some of my free time in the classrooms helping out.
