Rory's a 2nd Grader!!!

As Rory would say, "Really! It's true!"

Rory as a 2nd Grader:
Favorite color: green
Favorite Food: Salt & Vinegar chips...the kids call them spicy chips!
He wants to be a scientist, street sweeper driver and recycling truck driver
Loves Mario Kart
Hates spiders, wasps, snakes and scorpions.


In preparation for today, our dining room table became back-to-school central with new school clothes, backpacks, and classroom supplies. All of Rory's classroom supplies were all packed up for drop off at his teacher Meet & Greet on Friday, when we were ready to leave and then this happened...


...A monsoon storm rolled in and it began to pour.


The kids were waiting out the storm, watching our backyard begin to flood.


Eventually the storm passed and we headed to school. He was happy to meet his new teacher.


And he was excited to see which friends were in his class.


Rian thought we were now going to her classroom. Umm, yeah. Rian, you're not going here just yet. One more year Chica!!!


Showing off his new shirts and hat. All green, like every year before!!!


And there is nothing like a pair of new shoes!!!


The Batman Lego Movie is one of his current obsessions right now. So it was no surprise he asked for these.




My absolute favorite photo from this morning. Total mom-photo fail at its best!!! "Mom! I can't see! The sun is in my eyes!!!" Even with squinting eyes and a scrunched face, he is still so cute.


Ok a little better. :0)




Heading to school.


I love these walks up to school.


The bell rang shortly after I took this picture, so he gave us quick hugs and kisses and we sent him into school. We are so proud of him and know he will do well this year!!!


And now on to this. This invitation addressed to Rian arrived this weekend. This week has started with sending Rory off to second grade and will be ending with Rian visiting her new preschool class.



I hope you all have a wonderful week! I know ours will be filled with making new memories and friends, adjusting to a new schedule and settling in to a new phase in our lives. As always, thank you for stopping by!
