First Day of School 2011

It arrived bright and early…..  really early!

These girls surprised me though.  They got up and were ready 10 minutes before we had to leave!  Now if you have a pre-teen or teenage girl you know what a miracle this was.

Samie was actually excited to go to school this morning.  Up until about 5th grade she loved school.  I mean loved it….. so much so that at the end of the year she would cry because she did not want it to end.  This morning she was all smiles!  Yea!  Let’s see how long this lasts.

Sydney has been excited to return to school for a long time now.  She really misses that social interaction.

I attempted to take pics inside the house with their flowers, they get one for each year of school starting with kindergarten, but the lighting was horrible and Samie would not let me post them.  I did get a good one outside right before we loaded up the car.

Samie will not let us walk her to class anymore… what is up with that??  So no pics of her in her classroom. 

Sydney still wants Mommy and Daddy to walk her in, I would fight her if she didn’t, so I was able to get some shots of her.

Doesn’t Syd look thrilled?  I promise you she was.

Seeing old friends!

BLESSINGS!
