First Day of School

So, yesterday was the official start to this school year. I can't believe the summer is over and we are back to the grind stone. It went way too fast for me. I think if I could have just one week of nothing to do before school, I would be crying a waaaaaaay different song.

We got a new principle this year and I am very impressed with her so far.

Ryan is going into 5th grade -- Mrs. Milano's 5th/6th split grades class.

Sarah is still in the Spanish immersion program and will have Mrs. Washington as home room and Senora Hall as her Spanish teacher, she is entering 3rd grade.

Bella starts Kindergarten this year. Man, I can't even believe how big my kids are getting. She will be in Mrs. Nay's (Miss Redd) class in the morning. I am so excited we got morning kind. this year. Yeah!!!!!!

And my big girl Ali, she was feeling left out because she didn't get a new "pack pack", so Jeff found this freebie from some Bees baseball game we went to and gave it to her. She is so proud of it. I will be starting up with some other moms to have a pre-school class for her and some of her friends. I am so excited for that. I think it will help her too with the boredom she will have when she realizes everyone is gone but her. Good stuff!!!

I thought these three girls looked too cute on their first day. What a fun day for everyone.

I really should have got them all in one picture, but I didn't really think of it. I think I will be grateful for school when I get into the routine once again. It is always hard to get off of the summer schedule, or lack of schedule is more like it. But I think all the kids are so excited for this new year. Fun times are ahead for sure.
