Hunter's Sr. Preschool Back to School Night

I tried a new idea out this year. I wanted to take my kids school shopping with me instead of picking all of their clothes out myself...it was interesting. Josh and I have been wanting to try out going on dates with our kids one at a time and this was a little trial run. It was really fun. I too them each one at a time with me to get ONE shirt. I picked out all of the rest. I am not ready to give them full freedom, plus it isn't that fun to school shop because I make them wear "school shirts" which are just polos. But we went after shopping with each of them and they loved that. I didn't bring my camera with Lincoln or Palmer (gasp!), but I did with Hunter. We went and got caramel apples and chocolate covered cinnamon bears at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, yum!

Right after our little date we went to his back to school night at Jacque's Preschool. Oh how I love that place. I was sad that we didn't have anyone in the younger group this year, but Hunter is so excited to be in SENIOR preschool. We had to rename it senior preschool so our boys felt like they were moving on, not just redoing their first year.

He is excited to begin!

And of course he is treated like a million dollars from all of the cute grandmas there. This is he new teacher Miss Kris.

He will miss his teachers from last year. This is Miss Jan.

His name is on his own star hanging from the ceiling. Did I ever tell you that they change these every month and there is always different pictures on them and each month his name is on one. The kids love it.

He is locker number 7 this year.

We had a scavenger hunt to find all of the places in the preschool. He got a sticker when he found each one.

I seriously adore this kid. He makes me laugh all of the time and has the most charming little personality. He is a fun kid to be around.

He got a cookie and a little water for his treat and later a balloon. I don't think there is anything that my kids like getting more than a balloon (including Palmer).
