The first day of school was very exciting and very busy. Maddie is in 3rd grade this year and Lauren is in PM Kindergarten. The girls were excited to go to school so they got up extra early so they could be on time. I had camera issues so some of these pictures are terrible quality but at least we documented the first day of school.

My 3 cuties - Lauren later
changed her clothes because
she didn't like her dress
We live close enough to school that we can walk.
The first days of school are wild. Masses
and masses of people.

Since our last name starts with an A, Maddie
is always first. She made a wish that she wouldn't
wouldn't be first this year and it came true.
There's two other children in front of her.
It made for one happy Maddie!!
Maddie's teacher is Mrs. Mequet. She is
WONDERFUL and it made me happy.
Because of crazy circumstances, Lauren doesn't
go to the same school as her sister so she
gets to ride a bus to and from school.
I wasn't happy about it but it's turned
out to be really great.
I literally felt like Mary....I followed her to school
one day, school one day, school one day.
Ok, I really only did it twice but I had to make
sure Lauren knew what she was doing.
There's quite a few kids who ride the bus
and Miss Diane is the world's greatest
bus driver. I LOVE HER!
This is my favorite picture of Lauren-
It looks like a back to school ad
Can't you just feel the excitement?
There were no tears....yea, us!!
Lauren was both excited and nervous. She bites
her nails like crazy when she's a little unsure.
Her fingers are always in her mouth.
Lauren's teacher - Mrs. Revell. Lauren had the biggest
grin on her face when her teacher said her name
and welcomed her to Kindergarten.

Parker hurt his toe so he wanted to relax
out the couch. I love his hand in his pants!!
Very Al Bundy...
Since I was minus 2 kids I decided to make
it a productive day. I was very busy!!
Parker got a hair cut...
Daddy was off work but not really.
He never is. This is what he did...
This is what I did. I go 3 times a week and I am
committed for the next year. It is a huge pain and
consumes way too much time but it's supposed
to help me feel better. I really hope it works!!
I really wanted to be a good mom and have cookies
and milk waiting for the kids when they got home
from school. However, I was so busy that I didn't
have time. So I CHEATED! Thank goodness
for Toll House ready bake cookies.
They were delicious!!
