Back to School 2018

The "Official" Weaver First Day of School 2018 was Thursday, August 16, 2018.  But, because we are "that" family and cannot every do anything the simple way, it looked a little different in a few ways.

4 kids. 5 schools. 3 different “First Days!” Looks like this! Emma - 16: Meridian for Metal Fabrication (first day 8/15), Mulhall-Orlando HS for Junior Year (first day 8/17); Lara - 16: Stillwater High for Junior Year; Jake - 11: Stillwater Middle School for 6th Grade; Finn - 6: First Grade at Westwood. WHEW!

Because of all the craziness, there were traditions we missed, pictures that didn't get taken, and general chaos!  BUT!  I did get Emma to come see us for a few hours after her first day of Meridian to (try and) get a few back to school pictures.  I wanted one of all 4 kids, and then some of the girls.  Can you believe we FORGOT twiTO TAKE THE HANDS UP PICTURE?!??!?!?!?!?!?  GUYS!  I am truly remorseful.  I may have them re-enact it next time they are both in the same place.  I am kicking myself for that one!

Time just marches on.  I cannot wrap my head around the fact that I have 2 drivers, a middle schooler, and my BABY is at the elementary school all by himself!  These last 7 years have flown by.  A BIG FAMILY with lots of activities keeps us busy, so time flies.

We all got together on Wednesday after Emma was finished with her Meridian Tech classes and had a little photo shoot.  Here are some of my favorites:

MY BABIES!  11th, 6th, 1st

"IT WAS HIM"

(Trying to hide the brace) SO HANDSOME!

Sassy

And of course, it would noy be the first day of school without the Dream Weaver Prints First Day of School signature signs!  The girls took thiers early, but the boys were on the actual first day of school!  I got a couple fun pics of the biys as well.

Wait, WHAT?!?

They all had great first days.  Finn was slow to warm up, but his teacher said he is doing great!  Jake loves middle school!  Even on crutches!  Maybe it is all the special treatment... Lara is already super busy and super involved and super social.  Trying to learn time management again.  Emma is doing the 2 school thing and also needs to set extra alarms.  Here is to an amazing year!

AND THEY’RE OFF! One fiery red head off to move mountains. One gentle giant conquering school on crutches. One tiny miracle struggling with being “alone” at the big school. Here’s to a GREAT day!

Mom and Dad had a breakfast date at Braum's after we got them all off for the day.  First time it's just been the 2 of us all summer!  ;)
