Can you believe it’s time to go back to school?! Our children have been counting down the days until they get to step foot inside of their school. They love everything about being in school which always makes going back a little bit easier. This year we have a 4th Grader and a KINDERGARTENER!!! That’s right… both children are in school which means gone are the days of paying that monthly tuition, ha!
{Sidenote: This is a little photo wall I put together at church so that parents could take pictures of their kids before school starts back. The paper fans (similar ones on Amazon HERE Aff Link), burlap banner (similar ones on Amazon HERE), larger letters, and colorful pennants (similar ones on Amazon HERE) are from Hobby Lobby. The pom banner (similar ones on Amazon HERE) is from Target}
First, let’s talk about Israel. We were worried for a little bit that he wouldn’t be able to go to Joelle’s school since she’s a transfer student. BUT, we are so excited that his transfer was approved and they will be under the same roof for one year. It seems crazy that this will be the ONLY year they are EVER in the same school together!

I asked Israel a few questions and here are his responses:
Favorite Color: red and blue
Favorite Toy: superheroes and cars and dinosaurs
Favorite Movie: Peter Rabbit and Lego Batman
Favorite Place You’ve Traveled: Oklahoma and Hawaii
Happiest Memory: When we took pictures in the woods and the leaves were different colors (not a clue where this came from, ha!)
Saddest Memory: When Lucas played football and he didn’t win
Future Career: The Flash
Favorite Book: The Comic Book I made
Favorite Sport: Running and Basketball
What do you think Kinder will be like? I think we will go out to recess, but maybe not every day.
This boy is ALL ready for Kinder! Crossing our fingers and toes AND saying our prayers that this year will be WONDERFUL!
Alrighty, now onto Joelle! Joelle will be in FOURTH GRADE this year! That is officially BIG KID status which makes our hearts just a little sad. We really do love every stage they go through, and seeing her so confident and independent, yet loving and helpful really is a blessing. This year she will be rotating to four classes AND gets a school laptop (not our favorite thing ever, but that’s a whole other subject!). Needless to say, I think our little girl isn’t so little anymore. 
I asked Joelle some questions and here are her responses:
Favorite Book: The Babysitter’s Club
Favorite Movie: Coco
Favorite Place You’ve Traveled: Hawaii
Happiest Memory: When I got to hold Cannon
Saddest Memory: When Cannon was sick
Future Career: Scientist
Favorite Sport: Soccer
What do you think 4thgrade will be like? Fun and exciting
What makes a good friend? Someone who is always there for you
Where do you want to go to college? Tulsa
We will be back VERY soon with all of the first day pictures. I’ve already warned the kids that the camera will be ready for ALL THE SMILES, ha! They let out a few moans and groans until I reminded them that I’m mom and I get what I want 😉
