Mackay's First Day of School

Andrea and I were nervous to be sending our first born off to kindergarten. Mackay is such a sweet kid and I must confess that the thought of sending him off into the dark, cold world made me nervous to say the least. Nonetheless, I knew I couldn't keep him home forever. Hopefully we'll be able to counter the corrupting process as it goes along. Luckily it takes place slowly. :)

Anyway, back to his first day of school. Mackay didn't seem too nervous--at least if he did, he didn't show it. He was excited to finally be big enough to get to go to school. Andrea dropped him off and I picked him up. As you can see, he seems to be taking to school without a problem.
















Got to start with a healthy breakfast.





















Our cute little guy all ready to go!





















There's his classroom.





















Mackay seemed to really enjoy his first day of school. Nothing but big smiles!



Mackay explaining his first day in more detail...starting with the art project they made.

Kids First Circus!

We had a great time taking the kids to the circus with some friends of ours. I think it's safe to say they were thoroughly entertained. In retrospect, however, we probably should have brought more snacks--it was a long show.





















Our cute Beckett.





















Our cute Mackay.



My favorite part was the motorcycles in the spherical cage. Elephants just don't do it for me. Sorry elephants (and tigers and all the other animals).

Beckett Bug Party

Andrea did a bug-themed party for Beckett this year--at his request of course. As you will see from the pictures, there were a range of ages at the party. Beckett originally came up with just girls to invite. He seems to like older girls! Way to go buddy! :)





















Look Mom, bugs!





















A game of wrap the mummy.



I love Beckett's description of his party and his focus on his presents.
















A fun game of water tag.



Beckett blows out his candles.
















Bug cakes! Ummmm, good!





















Yes, the presents!
