Getting Ready for School

We had some things to do before getting the boys to their schools. Preston had to get his IEP ready for school down here, and then Spencer had to do one extra test for his gifted and talented class, to make sure he got into it. Which he did. 

While Spencer was taking his test, Preston and I went out to the playground to play. It was nice to be able to have him run around without disturbing the other kids. 

Fun times!

 That is until he disturbed a nest of black wasps!! I saw one or two flying around, but I thought they were just passing through, not that they had a nest under on of the steps! Preston was on the playground and I was at the edge watching him when all of the sudden 7-10 black wasps sprang up and surrounded him! He waved his arms around to get rid of them, and I yelled for him to run to me, but he didn't understand what I was wanting him to do. Then he started screaming "Ouch! Ouch!" Mama Bear took over and I ran over there and dragged him away while I was running back to the door. Luckily the bees didn't follow and thankfully I wasn't stung. He on the other did get stung twice. I was so worried because he had never been stung before so I wasn't sure if he would be allergic to it or not. Thankfully the nurse was at the school and she looked him over and put some bee sting stuff on his two stings. We didn't see any stingers left in him so that was good. But they swelled up big time!

After that we decided to go sit in the car and wait for Spencer to get done with his test. Preston's bee stings went down and he was fine by the end of the day. Also, he was not afraid to go back onto any playgrounds!!! 

The last week of summer and trying to get all the playing at the playground they can get in!

Also, since Spencer was entering into Middle School, we thought we would update his look. He looks so much older and handsome!!! 

Finally, the first day of school! Both boys would be riding the bus to school, and they were excited and nervous.

The boys! 6th grade and Preschool. 

Spencer was nervous about going to a new school, but he always makes friends quickly. 

This was them after their school day. Preston fell asleep on the bus, because it was such an active day, and Spencer came home saying he loved it. He had a great day. whew. 

Preston very excited about showing off his Paw Patrol shirt (his backpack is Paw Patrol also!).
