1st grade

brandon started 1st grade on september 1st. he is loving it so far! this pic is of him on the 1st day.
brybry won't get to start kinder until september 2012! he missed the cutoff by 1 month! poor thing is SO ready for school!

all smiles!
his desk

this is on the 2nd day. still all smiles which is a good sign! i was worried that he would be disappointed since many of his kinder classmates ended up in other classes. he only has 3 classmates in his class this year from his kinder class---1 boy & 2 of them girls and 1 of the girls, pushed brandon off the slide last year. [he doesn't like her all that much....i don't blame him.] but there are 2 boys from his pre-school that are in there. i think i was more worried than him. brandon makes friends with everyone!
so i have 6 hrs and 15 mins (i'm still not counting the time) that i have just 1 kiddo. so i get to make some cards.
a card here for a mom friend who just had a baby. she has 2 girls and she waited to find out on her 3rd one. so happy for her!
a belated birthday card. still not in the mail but it's made =)since i had everything out, the design above worked for 2 anniversaries card i needed. again, 1 is late (story of my life) but 1 will be early [or on time]!!
side note here, this morning, the phone rang. i heard caller ID say it was my son's school. 99.99%, it's a pre-recorded message telling us need-to-know-news for the week. NOT this one! i heard it was the nurse so i dove for the phone! brandon threw up at lunch time. she took his temp and has no temperature. so she let me talk to him. i asked if he was jumping while eating and he said no. but that is usually how he ends up upchucking his food. i asked if he was well enough to stay in school or if he wanted me to come get him. he wanted to stay.....good thing. i didn't want to start the school year off on a bad note! AND good thing it wasn't like he got into a fight or sassed an adult! so many things were running through that little head of mine.......we never know with brandon!!

Ah yes, the dreaded phone call! I cringe if the phone rings anytime between 8 and whenever he gets out...that is the WORST!! We get those 'informational' calls too but it only happens at night. Love your cards - I like how you made one flower a different color, so pretty!

Sept. 2012 sounds like eons away, wow! Poor Brybry!

So funny the call from the school nurse! You really made me laugh when you wrote you never know with Brandon! :> Love your cards, so sweet! I don't really make cards for certain people any more, because I found it hard to think and was always late. Now I work on having a good mix and than I am never late! :> Enjoyed seeing his photos. Is it hard having him gone all day everyday? :>
