First Day of School

My boys had their first day of school yesterday. It was a short summer – 7 weeks. It was just the right amount of time for the boys to get along. :) Just last week, the bickering became more frequent which was a key sign that they were ready to go back to school! :)

The essentials were ready…

Lunchboxes – check!

Backpacks – check!

2 boys excited to go back to school – CHECK and CHECK!

I think even our dog, Lexus, was excited for the boys to go back to school so she could lay on the couch in peace and without boys constantly all over here. :)

We went clothes shopping last week and Crazy 8 happened to have some pretty cool shirts. DJ’s favorite was the shirt with a boxer playing the piano. He said it reminded him of our old dog, Scooter.

As for Cody’s shirt, I had to get it since it is one of his favorite phrases, DJ Lance Rock says it on Yo Gabba Gabba and well, Cody is simply awesome! I asked DJ if he wanted the same shirt and I just got a look. I assumed it meant no. ;)

The ONE thing Cody picked out on his own while shopping (because he really didn’t want to go shopping) was this fedora. While shopping at Children’s Place he walked up to me wearing the hat and said “I want this”. We normally can’t get him to wear a hat for more than 30 seconds so this was HUGE! Of course I was going to buy the hat!!

He has proudly worn it EVERY TIME we go anywhere so it was only appropriate for him to wear it on the first day of school.

He is such a happy guy!!!
