We have begun! We were up bright and early this morning in attempt to make it a calm morning. Believe it or not we succeeded! I even got a few pictures. I was prepared to make a good french toast breakfast, but Marcus one up'd me and bought the kids their favorite SUGAR cereal! Ya they will be hungry at 10:00! Oh well, they don't get that everyday, oatmeal tomorrow!
Whit was up extra early and was ready in 10 minutes. I told her if she kept that up she would be able to sleep a little longer....I am sure the newness will wear off within the first week. Kyler mentioned that Whit could ride with them to school, she jumped at the chance. She was a little nervous to start a new school, so she was hoping Morgan would be a big brother for at least today!
I woke up at 3:00 a.m. listening to the coyotes, and making mental notes for all of the things I needed to remind her of. My list: there is money in your lunch account already, set in the front to middle of the class, back row asks for trouble :), remember who you are, call if you forget your locker combination, don't visit too long after school and miss the bus! I felt like I was sending her off to college! I know... I am one of the fanatic moms! I guess after the first, it will be easier. No tears, believe it or not! A prayer and she was off, even willingly!
I got a short run in and then the other kids started getting up and ready! No French toast, so breakfast was quick. Grandpa came over to get a few pictures of the kids on the first day , and soon the bus was coming. Whew...now I am tired! Wishful thinking I left the treadmill on to continue a little jog, but no here I am blogging. What you ask is Mia doing....painting my toenails with "ponelish" (every color and many layers)! She will be having with drawls this week with the kids gone all day!
Waiting for the bus! What cute kids!
Cool 5th grader! Hiding his excitement! It was a little chilly this morning, but the jacket was more to complete the look!
Madi had her fun attitude on today. She was so excited to wear her skirt (skort for all of you who hate girls in skirts at school as bad as I do...skirts and jungle gyms not a good mix!
We searched for the long socks, but had to settle with the short ones and vans for the first day attire. She told me we could maybe look in the MALL for socks!
My cute middle schooler! Mia was up at 6:30 a.m. to say good bye! (a nap today maybe!)
Too chilly and not so light outside for Whit's pictures....she is growing up all to quickly! Whit was wanting to post a few of the funny things Mia said a couple of days ago....I guess the blog duties fall back on me now!
McKay was teasing her then when he left the room Mia said "McKay's a doke (dork) huh Whit!"
She always dresses herself. She came out with her cup cake shirt on backwards. I told her that her shirt was on backward, she of course argued. I told her that the cupcake was on her back. She just smiled and said ....I guess it's backwards day today!
A stink bug is either called a stunkbug or a stinka bug.
The kids were washing the baseboards, Mia asked where her wipe wager was (wash rag).
And just now she told me to stop moving my toes because it messes her up and annoys her!
I guess I won't be too lonely this year!
I hope everyone has a great school year! They seem to go so quickly, enjoy those activity packed days!
