first day of school

Dear Summer. We miss you. You were good to us. We had late nights, fun vacations and too many pool baths to count. But we're super excited about the new school year.

This year's theme is the Greatest School on Earth. The school is decorated in the cutest circus theme, all of the teachers are "ringleaders" and they even had a dog act come in on the first day.

Addison is already talking about how she's going to do her homework in extended day so she can be done by the time she gets home. She'll get to change classes this year for Language Arts and she'll start the gifted program soon. She's so excited to be a third grader.

It took me four days to realize that I still thought Morgan was a Kindergartner when I looked at the time on the orientation sheet. Good thing I figured that out before showing up at the school two hours early. First grade is certainly going to be different for Morgan. I think she's in for a shock. There's a huge difference compared to Kindergarten, but I think she can handle it.

These sweet girls. I love them with my whole heart. 

And so does their daddy.

P.S. I know my hair looks rough. I had requests for braids and fishtails and curls that morning so I barely had time to blow dry my own. And Florida humidity. It was in a bun by the end of the day.

I drove them both to school and we had our annual car dance party. This year our song was this:

You can always count on Ms. KK to go big. She doesn't disappoint.

Getting acquainted with their new real estate.

Bring it on 1st and 3rd grade. We're looking forward to a fun year "Under the Big Top".
