First Day of Preschool!

Today was Zack's first day of Discovery 4's & 5's Preschool! We got to meet his teacher (and mine) on Wednesday night and today began our last year before Kindergarten! He will be going to school 3 times a week in the mornings (a new time for us), one of the days I actually stay and have a parent ed class too. Kiley then goes into sib care to play.

Zack was all ready to go to school today and couldn't wait to get going. Kiley wanted to go to school too but Zack kept telling her she didn't get to go, (hence the angry look in the picture). HE also wanted to make sure I got a picture of his Lightning McQueen backpack. He's quite proud of it, even if it is too big for him!

Upon arrival we were still excited and he wanted to make sure I got another picture of him with his backpack! He went off into the room without a second glance!

Then Kiley and I enjoyed some Mommy, daughter time which is very rare in our house since the kids wake up at the same time and go to bed at the same time and Zack doesn't nap!

We played at the park for a while, went shopping and had a little snack at Starbucks then back to school for a little more park time and then to pick up Zack.

Zack had a great time in class. He said it was lots of fun. But if you ask him what he did, all he will tell you about is playing on the playground. Typical boy! Not much to say.

On the way home I decided we should celebrate the day by going to McDonald's for lunch. Well who do you suppose we ran into there? Our buddies Ethan, Karis and Tricia! They had just arrived too! So we joined them for lunch and ice cream.

Zack and Ethan are not in the same preschool class this year and both boys are a bit bummed by this so it was quite a nice surprise to find them at the same place for lunch!

All in all a good day to start off the school year!
