SCHOOL!!

Well, school came early this year.  Rossville went to a quasi balanced calendar.  This means we started school on August 5th, but we get a week for fall break and an extra week for spring break.  This was Addie's first year for school.  She was super excited.  However, she ended up with the stomach flu that evening, so missed the second day.  She had a couple of hard weeks adjusting to all day school, but is now really liking it.  Katie is the "Big Girl on Campus" as 5th grade is the final elementary grade.  She gets to move classes for social studies, so that is a new change.  She was also ready to get back to school.  I was a little sad to see both my girls go to school, but Lucy is still home for a little while longer.

So, just to make me want to cry, here is Katie's first day of kindergarten (what a difference)

Addie had a new backpack and was ready to rock and roll!

Took a few tries to get a "real" smile!

Lucy wanted her picture too!!

I took the girls to Shari's to get on the bus.  It was a large crew!

I was there to see them get off the bus too.  It was big day for Addie.

Later on in the week (on Fridays), the girls get on an off the bus at our house, so they all wanted another photo op.

Lucy was jealous she didn't get a backpack, so we let her try on Addie's.

And we are off and running for another school year!!
