Journaling: The big first day has come and gone! We biked the first morning while Jeff stayed home with
Michael. Christopher looked sad, but didn't cry, when I left him off. Christopher thought school seemed long and wouldn’t tell many stories. Two days later at the mini-conference his teacher said he’s doing very well, participates, and seems happy. He has brought his lunch every day so far: The first day he had a turkey sandwich, grapes, cottage cheese, baby carrots, and a tiny bag of Lego fruit snacks for a treat. It’s hard to believe he is really old enough for kindergarten!

Phew, the first week of school is done!:) C actually admitted school was "good" today, though still said it was too long. Y'all should have seen me getting to school to pick him up today. A bit of background first: Jeff drove the van to work this morning and left M's carseat here, and at 4:00 we are riding with our friends in their big van down to Des Moines to have dinner with them. Then we will ride back with Jeff in our van:) Anyway, the boys don't fit in the bike trailer together anymore, and fight when they try, so C would have to ride his own bike home. M and I didn't want to have to run any errands today, so we didn't have a chance to drop off C's bike at school. So M rode in the stroller, I pushed it, and pushed C's bike off to the side, the whole 1/2 mile to school this afternoon. :) I'm sure I was quite the spectacle. And C did just fine riding his bike home with us. He isn't super fast yet, so didn't seem to mind waiting for us to catch up on foot. M slept most of the way there and back, but of course woke up when we got home. Guess he'll be a bit sleepy tonight at Grandma & Grandpa's, oh well!

Love it! At least your doing SOME type of scrapbooking. You had me worried, I thought maybe you were going to give up the hobby.
Very cute. WTG getting this scrapped already!!!
LOLOL- I completely understand juggling strollers/bikes/kids :) I'm glad you made it there safely! And I'm impressed that you've already scrapped his first day!
Super cute lo! I still have two years until my daughter's first day of school and I'm already dreading it. I think she'll be fine...it's me who will be crying!
Thanks for leaving me blog love. I needed it today!
Love the layout, and all those cute elements. Still can't believe these kids are in K.
I really did chuckle at the visual of you, M and the bike. God what we go thru, and could a man do it? Not in this lifetime, nor would they attempt.
I do just LOVE this LO, Cheri. And, kudos for getting it done so fast! I remember Karrah thinking school was long, too, especially with no afternoon nap!

So cute! Perfect first day of school LO. :-)
