OWEN's First day of Kindergarten....

So this is how the morning went...

I was smart and had everything set out the night before. We had his new backpack, new lunch box, new clothes. It was great. The the morning came. First Olivia woke up earlier then normal. Owen wanted to wear his orange shirt instead of his black. Daniel realized his class started earlier today then it normally does so he was unable to drop Owen off at school with us. The whole time I am trying not to cry because my little man is starting kindergarten! On the way to school (I guess Owen can tell I'm a little upset ) this is how our conversation went:

Owen: Mom it's ok to be sad, I'm just growing up.

Mom: I know I'm just sad because your getting so big and I wish your daddy could come.

Owen: But mom, I will take care of you! That's just my job! My daddy said when he is not here it is my job to take care of my mommy and my Olivia. That's what he said it's just going to be alright. I promise I will still be 5 when I get back from school.....

Mom: You promise?

Owen: I promise, promise... but I'm in kindergarten so now I'm a man!

I was trying SO hard not to cry until at least after he was in school... but after that, there were a few tears. My little man so grown up.... here are a few pictures of Owen...and his proud sister :)

Okay so before I get any comments on how I torture my child... there is a reason for this :) (other then I really do think it is cute) I had this lady contact me and ask me if I would take pictures of the baby stuff that she makes... everything here with the exception of the necklace (which was my moms) she made!!! Such cute stuff.... any way in return I get to keep everything she sent me as props for my business... we are talking over 100 items... I thought it was a pretty good deal :) So here is my little model,
