Today marks a new era in the Burns life. We are officially out of baby mode and into preschool mode. AJ made all of these "first steps" by himself. It seems like the rest of the kids will do things in groups.
Caleb & Aly had their first day today and Abby should start in about a month. I had quite a list to get ready yesterday after orientation. It took hours but at 12:30 last night, the paperwork had all been read and signed, the monstrous school supply lists had been acquired, snacks packed, and names sewn on backpacks.
The kids did their own prep on the walk to school. Luckily, the preschool is at the elementary school so we can all walk together. AJ, Caleb, and Aly hung back while AJ taught them the ropes of the school. Then, I overheard Caleb and Aly giving each other prep talks. "We are not going to cry" and "We are going to say, bye Mom" and "We are not going to pee our pants" and "We are going to be nice to our new friends."

How will you shop without all 5 of them. I couldn't be happier for any mom that had kids starting school.
I'm so jealous! It took me 14 years to get just 4 of them off to school (& I still have one at home!). You get to do it all in 1 day... lucky you!
ACH! I'm turning a very un-ladylike shade of green over here!
I must admit that the "we will not pee our pants" pep talk is my fav. Do you think you could get them to give that one to Z? ;)
I'm not sure anyone has cuter grandbabies than I do.
What a cute bunch of kids! I love that Jake has his backpack on too. Poor kid won't know quite what to do without all his siblings.
Wow! What a big day! What a cute row of kids all grown up. It's hard to believe kids really grow up, but now 3, and soon 4 kids will be at school for some part of the day! What will you do with yourself???? How will Jake handle all that one on one attention?
