Back to School

And Just Starting School! Sweet Mg has been looking forward to starting Kindergarten for SOOOOO long!!!!! Unfortunately for her our here kindergarten starts a week after the other kids start school (it gives the teachers a chance to individually test each student). Finnnalllly the day came and my little girl could hardly contain her excitement!!!
She found the coolest backpack...Barbie has a 3D sparkly skirt...oh the joy!!

So grown up and READY!!!! I love her teacher...everything you'd expect a kindergarten teacher to be...so happy and cheerful and loving. Mg has quite a few neighborhood friends in her class and couldn't be happier!!!!

The girls really enjoyed back to school shopping...it is fun to see their personalities really developing! E has been working hard learning how to do hair and really wanted pigtails for the first day of school :) She is SOO excited to start 3rd grade and to learn to write in cursive! She comes home each day and the first thing she tells me is what letter she learned to write that day :) She has a really really sweet intern teacher and she seems to be loving it! She has expanded from just playing soccer at lunch to also playing kick ball or even bouncing balls off the ball wall.


M has another male teacher this year and he is quite the character and is lots of fun and she is loving it! I can't believe she is in fourth grade! She loves her sparkle tennis shoes she got this year. She has a couple of friends and they have created all sorts of different clubs and she is having fun!
Little A and I still don't know what to do with ourselves in the morning without all the other kids :) Mg has morning kindergarten and they are happy to see each other. The big kids don't get out until 3:30 (yuck) and by the time they get a snack and get homework done the afternoons fly by but we've gotten pretty good at getting our reading and such done in the morning so we can play with daddy when he gets home. It's been a month since they started school and I finally feel like we're getting into a routine and we're doing well! Hooray for school!
