And So It Has Begun

Another glorious school year started today. At 5:45 both Jillian and I were up and at 'em. Me because I was going to throw in some cinnamon rolls plus make sure the other two were up and allot time for pictures. J because she wanted to make some noodles for lunch on top of doing all the normal stuff and having pictures made. The morning was a great success.  Everyone got up happy and reasonable. We were timely and cooperative (for the most part until the very end of picture taking).

But we may have also been a little goofy...

J headed off the the middle school. I have not handled this transition as well as other moves between schools. I think because I know that she will not leave this particular school the same girl. She is going to grow and mature, and frankly, I don't care for it. Those nice sneakers she is wearing - women's size 8.  What in the world? She measured herself at the school the other day - 5'1". And this will only get worse in the next 3 years. I am just sure of it ;).

You might notice no single of Little Man and that is because the cooperative buggy pulled out of the station just about 30 seconds before I wanted to take that picture. This is so much better than last year, though, that I refuse to really complain.

The kids both had a good day. Although Harrison may have decided he does not want to return. He is in the true pre-K class now, and I think they are going to try pretty hard to teach him something. He is not sure he wants any part of that.  I had a good day as well. There is just no getting over the first day stuff. It isn't super exciting.  But I tried to liven the place up a little today.  By Wednesday we will be talking history.  The true fun begins then.
