First Day of School Photo Overload






 

Today the big boys went back to school - Sawyer started 1st grade, and Sutton started kindergarten. They were both a little bummed to learn that they would be in different classrooms (their classes are both K/1 combo classrooms), but I think it will be good for them to learn to do things independently...it will, however, be a bigger pain in the butt for me when it comes time for field trips, class volunteering and dividing my time ;)
 


They chose to wear identical uniform outfits today even though they have a choice of two different colored bottoms and four different tops. They're silly like that. They said that they looked "really super cool when we match." I wonder how long they'll try to keep it up.








Sutton checked out his classroom and was happy to see that a few of his old friends from Morningstar are in his class.

Testing out the playground...their school playground rivals some of the best parks in the area! Sutton was SO excited to finally get a chance to play on everything!



He bonded with a new friend over their slimy handfuls of stinky hand sanitizer. They thought it was hysterical for some reason!

Time for a first day of school story, and then Mommy said goodbye. We have minimum days all week long, so I'll be going back to pick him up in just awhile. Hope they both had a fantastic first day!

The Happiest 5k on the Planet!

This morning I participated in The Color Run in downtown Sacramento, and all my guys came along to cheer me on. It was SO much fun! Sawyer especially got into it, showering passing runners with healthy doses of green and purple color. I've promised him that next year he can actually run the race with me, and he's beyond excited!

If you missed out this year, Kearsten and I are going to be forming up a big team to go next year, so let me know if you want to come along!



Lots and lots and lots of people...the race originally sold out quickly at 15,000 participants, and I heard this morning that they had opened up another 5,000 spots in the past few days too. That's a TON of colorful people!


Self portrait right as I got shot in the forehead with a yellow color blast!

This is what happens when you wear Crocs!


Sawyer told me to "never wash your hair again! It looks so cool and arty-ish!"

See you in 2013, Color Run!
