FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!

My sweet kiddos started school last Wednesday.....like, the 3rd of August.  Can you believe that?  I think we are headed toward year round school.  Anyway, it was a happy day.  Well, except for the part where we all have to get up early when we would rather be sleeping.

Dallin so excited before his first day of KINDERGARTEN!  Dallin asked me earlier that morning, "mom, will you do my hair spikey?"
Mia looking happy before her first day of SECOND GRADE!

Don't they look sweet together?  I told Mia to keep an eye on her brother for the first few days.  She just looked at me and rolled her eyes.  HA!
I don't know what Ben told them to say but it made a cute picture.
Of course Cami had to get in a few.  She missed them so much that first day.  She still does.
Dallin in front of the school.
Mia too.
Dallin in his cowboy themed classroom.
Mia wanted me to leave without taking a picture but I couldn't do that.
Cami in the doorway as we waited for the bus to come.
Just getting off the bus.
Excited to be home.
This picture warms my heart for so many reasons.  The girls are so excited to see each other and Dallin is so excited to see ME!
So precious
!

This is not precious.  Look at all that sweat!  It is hot on the bus.  It is cruel to start school so early in the south.  I should pick them up but Dallin and Mia will have none of that.  I am much more bothered by it than they are.  Mia was pretty sweaty too.

Wow, the 3rd? Megan started on the 8th. Sorry I did not get pictures since I have to be at work at 0630. Which is way before she has to be to school.

So cute!! Thinking about school makes me cry, why do kids have to get so big?!

Oh, man. I can't believe we have 2nd graders. I offered to take austin to school for his first day, and of course, he said he'd rather take the bus. Bummer.

The poor little ones that get left behind.

thankyou for the perspective :) I could NOT imagine having to do this the rest of my life. I feel so sorry for you.

Is Dallin really that old?! Oh yeah, and my brother is marrying a girl from Atlanta. I am tempted to come for the reception there, just so I can come see you guys!
