Here is Hallie all ready for her first day of FIRST GRADE! Having her gone all day has definitely taken some getting used to. For the first week or so Mason repeated "Where's Hallie?" almost non-stop and Jake kept asking if we could please go pick Hallie up from school now. Hallie, on the other hand, absolutely loves it. When I picked her up on her first day she said she couldn't believe the day was already over and that she wanted it to go on and on and on.
The funny thing about this next picture is that the whole time I was lining up the kids and asking them to smile, Mason kept glancing over at Jake and trying to mimic him. Until the second I took the picture Jake's arms were folded too.
Jake has officially stepped into the big kid club. He started afternoon preschool three days a week and is loving it. The home his school is in is only about a block away so he has really loved getting to ride his scooter there and back. He absolutely refuses to wear a backpack though. When I asked him why not he looked me in the eyes and said "Because I don't need it." And he's probably right. He seems to be getting along just fine without it. 
Mason, on the other hand, loves to wear his backpack when we walk Jake to school. Having both the older kids gone three afternoons a week has given Mason and I some one-on-one time which has been really fun for me. Although, Jake's school is right during Mason's prime melt down time so most days he gets a nice long quiet nap and I get a little free time. Which I'm going to start being really productive with one of these days! Or at least I'm going to keep telling myself that. So far I've just been working my way through my summer reading list.

Where did you get a fourth child? Wow, Alexis was there early if she was there for the send off. All day is a big change. They do all day kindergarten here. So they go from preschool a few days a week for two hours to everyday all day. It's going to be hard! I'm glad Jake loves preschool. Don't you just love the break? Sometimes I am productive, but I have been hitting the books hard too. I have some new recommendations if you ever need them! I also love the time alone with Jayci for a little while (before she needs her nap too)
yeah, more posts! I love jake and his sunglasses
