First Day of School!

I'm going to kick off this blog with the first day of school!  After a crazy summer, we just started school yesterday.  I wanted to make sure that I had all of my plans finalized and curriculum ordered and school room rearranged and... you get the idea.  All the planning in the world and I never feel quite ready.  But, alas, I have to start sometime.

We kicked off the morning with a good breakfast and some snuggling on the couch.  It was raining and gloomy and it was so nice to be able to cuddle with my kiddos and listen to the rain.

After getting dressed (and redressed for the potty trainer), we headed down to the school room.  (I'll post pictures soon.)  They were so excited!  I'm happy I could give them some of the anticipation that accompanied my first day of public school each year.

This is my first year homeschooling 3 kiddos at the same time.  Wow.  We still have some "kinks" to work out, but I love that we all have a structure to our day.  And I love that we get to start it off praying and exploring God's word together.

Do you have any "First Day of School" traditions?
