Back to School

Again.

Summer always seems to go by in a flash. But during that last week of summer, as hard as I try, I can't wish the first day of school to arrive any faster. But alas, it finally arrived, nice and early, on an overcast Tuesday morning.

Amazingly everyone (including Daddy) got up and ready and out the door on time, which was a pleasant surprise. It's amazing to think that we have a 6th grader and a Kindergartner, time sure flies when you're having fun.

Our three little beauties heading off to school. (Well, the littlest beauty was going to Papa's house, but she was up and had a backpack, so she got to be in the picture too.)

The Big 6th Grader on Campus.
Once we got to the school our conversation went something like this.
Me: So Kenz, do you want us to walk by your classroom with you?
Her: (with the "look" of pure annoyance) Um, no Mom.
Me: Are you sure?
Her: Uh, I'm in 6th grade, I think I can find it.
Me: Well, OK - have a great first day!
Her: Uh, thanks. Can I go now? (As she's already speed walking away from us.)
Oh the joys!

Our Crazy Little Kindergartner - who also happens to be on the shy side.
We made it to school and drop off without so much as a tear. She had admitted to being "a little nervous", but overall she did great!

Major cuteness quote of the day:

Mommy, can you print a picture of you, Daddy & me so if I miss you I can look at it and be happy? - Delanie M.

Water, water, water play!

The Daddy-o in this house decided that building the kids a splash pad or as my friends say "a water park" in the backyard was a really good idea. It's come a long way and was certainly a bigger project than he envisioned and I'm not sure if he thinks it was such a good idea anymore. LOL! But I think they like it. Really, really like it. :)

What do you think?
