Excluding the week that the plague of 2015 took over the Campbell house, we are back in the swing of our school routine after Christmas break. My kids always seem to have a tough time transitioning back after Christmas, and this year was no exception. Scott is definitely the big man on campus and ready for kindergarten next year. He and little buddies are trying to run the show a little bit and it has ended in lots of hurt feelings and boy play that goes too far. With the help of his teachers (aka my favorite people on the planet!) we have been able to give them all a little more structure in their day while still allowing them freedom to play and be challenged. But it did make for a rough couple weeks after Christmas. And Owen, well he just decided that he doesn't want to go to school at all anymore. Until about 90 seconds after I pull out of the parking lot and one of the teachers texts me a picture of him playing and having a great time. What a stinker. Thankfully the teachers are there to rescue me again and let me know that he's doing just fine.
Now for some pictures (aka iPhone dump)
Buddies hanging by the fence waiting to all walk to our cars together at the end of the day.
Auntie and Eden visited us at school one day and Scott had the best time showing off his favorite girl cousin. It was too cute because all the big tough guys came and took turns holding her and giving her all the attention in the world.
Hanging in Ms. Dana's yard after school.
These friends and their moms fill my heart. And also Owen's clothes were wet and drying in the sun. Although him running around in chones is not out of the ordinary. Even at school.
Field trip to Create!
Owen was into it and made a robot. Scott, not so much. He glued a few corks onto cardboard and called it day.
That afternoon was our first soccer practice. The boys had a great time. Owen got a little bored because he's the oldest in his class and he's used to playing with the big boys, he was also more interested in the snacks I brought.
By the end of class Owen was picking flowers.
Scott is definitely ready for more organization and is at a very good age for this type of class. I promised him that once we did this he can sign up for a team.
Back to school...here's the tiny (not tiny) nugget practicing the monkey bars.
Piper (the little girl) passed out after school one day when we all stayed to play. Her mom finally gave in and laid down too.
This particular day almost all of our friends stayed after for hours. We were the first ones to leave, I waited until the last possible minute but I had to go to work that evening. Scott was broken hearted.
These two cuties were having so much fun, I hated to drag him away.
