The Perfect Send-Off from Dear Friends

This past Wednesday the boys and I headed out to Arlington to Carrie, Jackson and Ella's house with Carlien, Micah and Liam. We wanted all the boys (and one sweet girl) to get together one more time before Clayton started school. We arrived at Carrie's and we found a wonderful bus cake and some balloons. The sweet Irons family had made Clayton a cupcake cake in the shape of a bus....what a perfect way to start school (do you remember his obsession from 18months to about 3 with school buses?). After lunch we dug into the cupcake cake and Cooper loved it all so much he didn't even use his hands. Face went straight into the cupcake.
Everyone played so hard and had such a great time. Later in the afternoon the big boys went out to play in the sandbox. They got filthy and loved every minute of it. So much so that we had to bathe them before we could go home. They were absolutely hilarious and all boy!
I love that we have such precious friends to share these milestone moments with and they mean so much to us. Clayton will miss seeing Jackson and Micah on a regular basis. The neat thing will be to see them reunite at Christmas break when he gets some real time to play. Watching these boys grow up has been a hoot (watch out when they are all teenagers).
Thank you so much for the perfect Kindergarten send-off!

That last picture is awesome...one you'll want to keep and show all those boys when they become teenagers. I bet they'll get a kick out of that! I love seeing all the pics of the family.
