Tomorrow is the big day

Monday, August 27. 2007

AJ had school orientation tonight. He got to take his supplies to school and see his classroom and talk to his teacher. Being the ~~geeky~~ loving mom that I am, I took a few pictures.

This was taken before we left the house. He was so excited and was bouncing all around. It was hard to get a picture of him at all. Oh, and Megan was mad because I wasn't telling her to say "cheese".

He insisted that I take a picture of his new shoes. He thought everyone would be impressed (which I'm sure you are). Notice the thread on his shoe. Ray says the thread in this house is worse than living with a dog who sheds. You never leave the house without checking for threads on your clothes. They are the telltale sign that I sew a lot!

This is AJ's seat. He was given a special pencil which is already in his box. And yes. His name is in cursive. His teacher said she will be teaching them all cursive this year. Better her than me!

AJ will be the teachers ~~pet~~ aid this week.

And finally, a picture with his teacher (her name is Mrs. Fontelera...which I'm sure I just spelled wrong). Yes, she really is that short.

More pictures tomorrow!!!!!

This is it. We have at least 16 more years of school kids...

Coming to a theater near you: The Jones' Empty Nest. (Because this film is categorized as being in production, the data is subject to change; some data could be removed completely.)

Is that my classroom?? No. What does it look like? Why is Megan sad? Is she going to preschool too? How will AJ get to preschool? I think Auntie Laura will just take AJ to preschool and bring Megan back home in the van. Those are some cool shoes. Maybe I could get some shoes like that?

Hi Ryan! AJ's classroom is pretty big and has a table in the middle for the kids to sit at. In one corner, is a big desk for the teacher. There is a chalkboard on one wall, and some toys by another wall.

Megan wasn't sad. She was angry because I was taking AJ's picture and not hers. She won't be going to preschool.

You were right that I will take AJ to school and then Drew and Megan will come home in the van with me.

I got those shoes on sale at Payless for $4. I'm glad you like them.

AJ, Grammy & Mac are so excited for you today. You look so nice, and those are great shoes. Have a wonderful first day of school!

My heart is holding you today, Laura -- and Ray, too.

BTW, you know what happened when WE had empty nest thoughts!

For the record I am NOT having empty nest thoughts. Nope. None of that! Eek!
