First Day at School



by Rod Hull

My first day at school today.
Funny sort of day.
Didn't seem to learn much.
Seemed all we did was play.


Then teacher wrote some letters
On a board all painted black,
And then we had a story and...
I don't think I'll go back.

Becky- I can't believe you have one old enough to go to 7th grade! You don't look much older than her! My kids don't go back until next Wed. after Labor Day, I always get sad when they leave!

The first day of school is such a love-hate thing for me. Cute poem. I may have to borrow that one from you.

P.S. We did the Minnetonka Cave last year. Loved it!!!

I love my quiet house because it only lasts just long enough for me to get a few things done. I am with Ginger though. It is a love-hate thing. I love them home but I love the quiet time ,too!
I hope they have a great first day!

Did you plan to match Phoebe & Will? I love the picture spot you've picked. Hoooray for school! (I think)

The starting of school is such a bitter-sweet thing. I can't believe Abby is in the 7th grade! How did you handle that today?

Becky A said...

shaury, I didn't even realize Phoebe and Willie matched. and as far as the spot goes, as you can see, the bus is there, waiting. it came early and I hadn't snapped pics yet. I had made signs for them to hold, too, but didn't have time for a real photo shoot. It was a hectic morning!

we still have one LONG week before school starts. I can't wait. My oldest will be starting middle school and I am freaking out! Your kids are darling!

School came way too fast this year.

That is a Cute Poem and beautiful pictures. Abby looks so grown up!
I was driving by early in the morning and saw you and Abby out there. Then I passed by Jess. I thought gosh you have Abby going to JH and Will off to school ALL day!
Hope you have been enjoying your two days so far! These kids grow way too fast!

Loved hanging out with you tonight, it's a good thing we celebrate diversity and embrace our difference of opinions:)

Cute Poem! Your kids look darling as usual. You always have them dressed so cute. I hope they're enjoying school and got good teachers.

School days, school days,
Dear old golden rule days.
'Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic,
Taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick.
You were my queen in calico,
I was your bashful barefoot beau,
And you wrote on my slate,
'I love you, Joe,'
When we were a couple of kids.
