Last Day of Summer and First Day of School

The last day of summer was full and fun. The boys had their faces painted ( a bat and a ghost for each)at the local art festival and got balloon swords complete with sheaths and helmets.

Then we went swimming with our friends.

The first day of school came early and fast, and a surprise moment of brotherly love for the big day.

Gerrit is in preschool at Kids Corner. When I put his birthday on his paperwork I said he was born in '05. Gerrit was born in '07 and Wyatt was born in '05. Oh well, what can a mother do?

Here he is going meet a friend after putting everything away in his cubby.

Wyatt in front of his school.

And at his own little desk! He is so grown up now.

He is testing out the slide of death. No state regulated play equipment at his little school. I survived metal and wooden play grounds, so I am hoping Wyatt got those genes and will survive his too.
