School's In Session

I can't believe the summer is already gone! As a teacher, I love the frequent breaks our school system has in place but I sure do miss those long summers. We officially have two Cleary children in school. Nolan began 5th grade this year and my little Tucker started Pre-K this year. He was such a big boy on his first day of school. I was so proud of him! Since I have to be at work on the first day of school at the same time the boys leave for school, I was not able to walk him in and down to his classroom. I tried to convince his daddy to do it and to take a couple of pictures for me, but you know how men are. Nolan and Brayden took care of him and got him to the room. When he got home that afternoon we asked him what all he did. He said, "I played, I ate, and I took a nap." I guess that's pretty much the extent of Pre-K. He really seems to enjoy his teachers. On Monday of the 2nd or 3rd week of school, Richie received a phone call from the school nurse stating that Tucker had gotten sick and threw up. Most of us who know Tucker very well have discovered over the past year that he has an extremely weak stomach when it comes to looking at certain things. He gags at the oddest things sometimes. Well, Richie went to check on him at the school where he found Tucker walking around the office. He asked him what made him so sick, in which Tucker replied, "That brown girl had a big, huge, booger hanging out of her nose." All Richie could do was turn his head away. The secretary was laughing so hard she couldn't control herself. A couple of plumbers walked by and overheard and laughed histerically as well. He is so animated and you never know what will come out of his mouth. So far, we are all off to a good start. Very busy, but doing well. Check out the pics below of the boys on their first day of school (at the house before they left for school, of course. Thanks, Richie!).
