Bedtime Field Trip & First Day of First Grade!

A few weeks ago we put the boys to bed as usual and waited for them to settle down. Then we went in and asked them if they would like to head out for a special surprise. Little B was so cute. He had already fallen asleep and if you know his little voice and words, you can imagine his simple response of "sure". Only his "R" sounds don't quite pronounce correctly. Anyway, we drove to the other side of Roanoke to find a CLOSED Krispy Kreme...BUMMER because we were planning on taking warm, fresh, mouth watering...you get the idea up to see the Roanoke star.




Their eyes look so sleepy!

But we can't do anymore late night field trips until next summer because today was the 1st day of 1st grade! I can't believe my boy is in first grade! Last year after his first day of kindergarten I couldn't get him talking about his day until I pulled out snacks and put Ben down for a nap. Today he talked the entire walk home and continued while we all listened...without the homemade chocolate chip cookies I had baked. I was trying to be prepared! He wasn't hungry!

"Aw Mom...You know I don't like cameras anymore!"

Somehow along the walk over Jacob convinced Ben to carry his backpack for him!
