Labor Day vacation

Sam's first day of school

and inbetween all of that, there was
family, more family, even more family, and even more family... and more and even and more

and inbetween all of that, we managed to have time for:

movie night

and pool time

WHEW! it's been a heck of a summer. I'm actually glad to have the school year back again.

First day of school

Today was the first day of school for Daylon and Rianne.
Daylon is going into the 6th grade... middle school.
Rianne is starting 2nd grade

Now i have kids in two different schools, which means:

*a whole new level of chaos in the morning to make sure each kid gets to school on time.

Rianne's school is a few blocks away ~ Daylon's is across town

*which also means that i won't be able to have Daylon and Rianne look out for each other

*they won't be walking to school together or walking home from school together

*two different time schedules all together (although it might make homework time easier?)

*and so many more i'm sure i'll find out about later

The kids are super excited, so i am too, and i get one on one time with Sam again... and me time during his naps! YAY!

Lets just hope that school goes smoothly this year and middle school isn't as scarey as people/parents tell me it is.

and just for fun because i saw it here: be different act normal

Daylon

Rianne

and because Sam couldn't be left out of the fun!
