Goodbye Summer, Hello School

 Tai started preschool at A Step Ahead Preschool last Wednesday! We went to her openhouse the week before and Kasen was so excited to show her around and tell her about her teachers.
We went to pick out a backpack for her and she wanted this one with the lipstick on it! And she picked out these "spark-a-ley" rainbow shoes too. She's been twirling with her backpack, pretending to go to school all week.
We got there and she walked right in with Mrs. Liz like the biggest girl ever.
She loved dancing and told me she did "so many stuff!"
Hopefully all the scratches on her legs are just the signs of a good summer playing outside.
 We have Lindsay to thank for providing pretty much all of our summer fun this year! I think Kasen and Tai went swimming over at their house 4 times the week before last and did one last backyard movie night too.
I'm super impressed with Kasen because at his birthday party in June, he wouldn't even jump into the pool with his life jacket and now he's doing back flips off of the ladder and getting toys off the bottom of the pool!
Kasen had his Kindergarten testing and ROCKED it! He was answering all the questions so fast that their computer couldn't even keep up so he did his testing with the teacher on paper. So we took the kids to get some blue cookie monster ice cream and went to eat it at the temple on Tuesday. Our first family outing and first family of 5 photo. So grateful this bunch is mine forever.
Sunday Kyle gave the kids their back to school, Father's Blessings and Kasen is super excited for Kohen to get his baby blessing now and keeps asking when Kyle will give him a blessing.

Yesterday was Kasen's first day of Kindergarten at Mountain Trails Elementary School!
We found out on Friday that his teacher is Ms. Perez and I still have yet to actually meet her...
I wasn't very impressed with the welcome the new Kindergartners got going to school on their first day. We got there early to hopefully show Kasen which classroom is even his, but we had to stay outside and none of the doors had teacher names or numbers on them. It wasn't till after the first bell rang that the teachers even came out to get their class. Kasen was a champ though! He walked right in and said, "My name is Kasen!" 
 He thinks it's pretty cool that Kohen has a binky with blue dinosaurs on it to match his mask he has to wear to school. Tai doesn't have to wear one to her preschool.
 So big and brave!

Today was the first day that Kasen and Tai BOTH went to school! 2 days a week I'll get 2 whole hours of just me and Kohen.
 I asked them if they are going to miss each other and Kasen just gave Tai a hug. He asks her about Preschool and what she brought home in her backpack and it's the cutest thing ever!
 I'm so excited for them and all the great things they'll get to learn with all their new friends.
Here's to hoping that schools actually stay open for the whole year! #stupidcovid
