1st Day of School!!!!

Today marks the first day of school.  We have been anxiously awaiting for a while!  School supplies have been bought and delivered.  Backpacks packed, labelled, lunchboxes prepared, clothes laid out.  The day has arrived!  My super big kids.  I can't help but get a little sentimental as I see my two BABIES growing up.  Milestones like these seem to bring it out in me.  *sniff sniff*


Here's some back to school pics we took -


Brenna, PreK (only one more year till Kindergarten!!!)....

















Brooke, 2nd grade....



















Their first days of school were a big success.  They both woke up pretty easily by 7:00am, got dressed, let me fix their hair, ate a good breakfast and were ready to go timely.





Brooke, of course, didn't even want me to walk her in.  I explained to her calmly that if she didn't let me walk her in and take her picture, I would embarrass her much much more than a picture would.  ;)






It worked to her benefit that things were hectic and busy and all the other parents did the same, so I scooted out quickly..esp since I still had Brenna in tow.

Then taking Brenna to school, I HAVE to walk her in (sign her in) so I got a few pics of her.  At first she didn't want to go into the (what I call) holding room.  We got there a couple minutes before 8:30 and apparently they are pretty strict about wanting them there in their classroom not a minute early.  So I waited in the hall with her till it was time and watched her go in w her teacher and deliver her teacher gifts.










When I picked her up, she was already in play mode (from her busy day!!) and I 'caught' her playing dress-up with a new friend.  :)




She was very excited to show me her work from the day in her very own folder (she was very proud of her "very own folder!")....



After I picked her up, we had a lunch date at Chick Fila so she could tell me about her super fun day and we even took home a brownie for dessert.  :)



Can't wait to see how Brooke's day was as well!
