First Day of School 2011

Today I officially became the mom of a 4th and 1st grader. I can't even begin to tell you what a stick of dynamite that is in my ear hole. It blows my mind. I remember 1st grade. A little bit. Okay barely. But I really do remember 4th grade! My teacher was Mrs. Strawn, my favoritest of all time, in all the world. She used to give me time to come to the front of the class and put on a "show" in hopes of containing my maniacal outbursts. It didn't work out too well. But bless that woman she tried!

Yesterday was open house. Which I thought leaned a little towards the retarded side. Having open house the day before school that is. I think it should have been at least a few days before. To give us time to work out any kinks. Luckily there were no kinks to work out. We met Hailey's teacher, Ms. Turner. She's British and has the best accent ever! But now all I can picture is a British nanny that pops hands with rulers and yells things like threats of "boxing your ears" and such . Is that racist? She seemed nice enough, but I can't help but think that anyone from "across the pond" finds us American's gross. I kind of find us gross. Anywho, we lucked out, and our prayers were answered because Joshua got Mrs. Little. His same teacher from 1st grade that we LOVED!


I'm hopeful for an awesome year. As awesome as last year at least.


You know I can't end this without "Back to School" pics! Most of them came out shaky, and blurry, and out of focus for the most part because it was still dark when we went out to wait for the bus. I only really got one good clear shot just before the bus came, the sun had finally come out enough for good lighting.

{See how dark it was?? I had to use my pop-up flash.}

My First Grader

{This was taken, right before we went outside to wait for the bus.}

Just before getting on the bus to head off to their first day of school.
