We are back in school!

Is the summer over already? I have been dreading school. I love summer, I love hanging out with my kids, and I love waking up when ever I feel like it! My kids were gone all day and my alarm went off at 6am! Ugh! Actually after yesterday, my kids were at each other throats all day, I decided school was a good thing and I was ready to send them off for the day! So this morning it was back to waking up before any of us were ready, brushing hair(we don't do that during the summer because we eventually just get in the pool), eating breakfast at a normal breakfast hour, fixing lunches, and saying family prayer all before 8am!

Olivia decided yesterday instead of walking over to the school to see who her teacher would be and which friends would be in her class that she wanted to be surprised! So I told her which classroom she was in and she walked to school this morning to find her teacher was Dr. Porter(we are so excited!) and that no, Abby wasn't in her class but lots of friends were. She was as happy as could be to be going to school in her Joe Jonas t-shirt and seeing her friends. She also found out that she is officially in the gate program this year. She got the biggest smile on her face when I told her, I think she was really proud of herself and that makes me happy. I am proud of her!

My little fashinista, Sophie, couldn't wait to get back. She is such a social butterfly! She loves planning what she is going to wear down to her necklace and bracelet. She was probably my most nervous, she didn't know anything about her teacher. Unfortunately I do and am a bit worried about the year. As long as she loves her and is happy I guess we are good to go and today she came home as happy as could be. She went on and on about how nice her teacher was. She has good friends in her class too. I think she is in for a good year!Well, my Isabella Bug is officially a kindergartner! I miss her already. I love having Bella around, she is always happy, and loves going anywhere with me. She is so easy to take places and is so good to her brother. Ian is going to miss her being home in the mornings. She was so happy to go to school today. She met her teacher last night at our kindergarten ice cream social(that didn't have any ice cream, our principal is a dork!), and loved Miss Guy and Mrs Tippits! Between church friends and her big sisters friends we already know have of the families in her class. I am thrilled with her teachers and friends and she still gets to have recess and snack with Lacey and Gabrielle!

Look Abby we got the same folders!
