the paquettes

It was a GLORIOUS rainy morning today!!  We started a new season of life in the Paquette household and I am praising God for giving me just what I needed at the right time-rest, peace, quietness.  Today is the first day of preschool for Ella and Asher, (and the very first day of preschool EVER for Asher!)  It feels different sending your youngest (and last) off to preschool.  I’m much more anxious and nervous for Asher then I ever was for the girls.  It could be because of his personality or that he’s my baby-probably some of both.  As for me, Asher and I needed some breaks from each other during the week.  Actually, I think it’s safe to assume that Asher would of preferred me being at his beckon call and at his side ALL day, EVERY day, but I just don’t have the patience right now.  (So maybe I had a month long countdown going in my head until preschool started.)  🙂  Asher was crying when we left him, but that didn’t surprise me.  I am very interested to hear how his day went from his teacher.  Ella is a preschool pro, (this is her 4th year of preK!) and was very excited to go back!

New lunch kit from Grandma! and a little unsure of what this preschool stuff is all about.

preschool buddies!

Ella and Asher are going to preschool with their best friends and Ella and Anna had to keep the tradition alive and dress alike on the first day. This is their 3rd year doing it!

Asher is going to preschool with Caden and Malachi. I figure might as well dress them alike too while they still don’t care, because I’m certain the boys will nix the matching outfits sooner than the girls!

Ella’s class is Miss Robin’s Rhinos!

And Asher’s class is Miss Brooke’s Bees.

Caden and Asher are both in the same class.  That could spell TROUBLE!
