Nathanael was sad he wasn't starting the same day but was excited for his brother!
My handsome 3rd grader!!
We got to school along with all the other students and parents and walked Joshua in. We were met by the school mascot. It was so exciting for the boys. We've never had a mascot before. 
At the entrance of the school they had an archway of balloons. The teachers lined each side of the walk cheering for the students as they entered the front doors. They handed each child a pencil with the school name on it. It actually made me emotional that they would go to that much effort to make the students feel so welcome coming back to school. I'll never forget that! We entered the building to a delicious smell of something wonderful baking in the kitchen.
It was a fun day.
After school we ran a few errands and had a special dinner at McDonald's. There's nothing like a happy meal and a TOY, not to mention a star wars toy!
Our first day of school tradition is to go to Maggie Moo's for a treat after school. So of course we went!!! Julie and Justin joined us for the tradition. (Don't you love Nathanael's blue mustache?)
It was a good day!
(And that was over a month ago...)
