Monday was the first day of school. Carter started kindergarten…

And Raine started 2nd grade.

We all walked over to the school.

We dropped off Carter in Mrs. Schultz’s class.

Then we took Raine upstairs to Mrs. Allen’s class.

Today, I took off work to spend a little extra time with Carter since the kindergartners only attend half day the first 3 days of school. We rode our bikes to school and back.

Carter still can’t pass a flower patch without picking one for me!

See that painted fingernail? I was painting Raine’s nails for the first day of school and Carter begged and pleaded to have his painted too. I tried to pacify him by saying that I would paint a couple toenails, but he wanted it visible. This one finger on his right hand was our compromise! I told myself that it’s an educational aid because it helps him remember which hand is the right one. He likes it because it looks green indoors and then turns blue outside.
