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.

Mia too.

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.
