First week at school

Well Matt started kindergaten and Cheyenne started 1st grade on Monday! They were both really excited and had a great day!



















Cheyenne and her Teacher! Her teacher is awesome!

























Second day was not as good. The kids go to seperate schools Because we are in a different district than Matt's mom, so Cheyenne goes to Mccoy and Matt goes to Lideya Rippey. Well I picked Cheyenne up at 2:55 and rushed over to get Matt by 3:05. My mom was with me because we were going to go to town after I picked up the kids. When I got to Matt's school, I went to the pick up line and he was not there. The lady told me that she had already picked up his class, so she told me to go to the front and see if he was in the bus line. I called Lisa(Matt's real mom) to see if she had picked him up on accident and she hadn't. I went up front and could not find him anywhere!!! The office paged his teacher multiple times and she didn't answer the page. They called the bus they thought he might be on and he was not on it. At this point in time I have massive butterflies in my stomach and I am about to lose it. They have "misplaced" my son. After about 20 minutes his teacher strolls in and says "sorry I was busy" They asked her about Matthew and she looked at me and said "I stuck him on a bus." I asked her why and she said that he was a bus rider as of today. I told her I personally watched Lisa write down that he was pick up only. She told me" do you want to see the paper and I said no I need to go get my son, There is nobody home! I rushed to my car and sped to Lisa's house. All I can think about is they are going to drop my 5 year old at a house with no one home. We finally got a hold of the bus driver and they turned the bus around and took him back to school. When I got there Matt was hysterical, as was I. What a wonderful way to get my child excited for school! His teacher later called and said she found the paper and he was a pick up only! Needless to say Wednesday morning we went in and changed Matt's teacher. Thank goodness Matt still looks foward to school! I hope next week is better!
