First Day of School

The first day of school was officially a success. There were a few tears but at the end of the day everyone was happy. Carly started Kindergarten and they changed it to full day this year. I was a little skeptical and was ready to pull her out the second week and send her back to preschool (not for real but I am sad she is growing up.) She is handling it like a pro though. She has Mrs. New who was one of Anna's teachers so we already felt like we 'New' her. :)
They, of course, coordinated their outfits. Carly now 'eats' lunch at school but usually comes home with like three bites of her sandwich gone and nothing else eaten. So she eats it when she gets home. Too many distractions and fun things to go and play with. I am not a fan of all-day kindergarten but we are trying to make the best of it. Carly seems to be doing great.

Anna is in a 1/2 combo class. I was a little nervous at first for her but she is doing great as well. Her teacher is Mrs. Huntting. I don't know her well but she seems nice. I feel like first grade is a whole different world than Kindergarten. It took her a few days to get used to being at school the whole day but she has adjusted. I definitely miss the girls during the day. The house seems way to quiet and empty with them gone. I have to keep myself busy or else I get sad. I am hoping I will adjust soon too. :)

Walking up to school.

They are growing up way too fast!

They are so cute and so big. I love how well all your kids get along and play together. It is great! :) I remember how excited I was when I 'HAD TO' take a lunch box to school because I ate lunch there. I felt so cool. :)

So crazy that Carly is gone all day! That seems way to fast! They both look adorable and I can see them getting there outfits all ready to match. I love Anna's missing tooth, she looks like a twin with Kade!
