(Morgen & Meshayla will start later)
The "little girls" were quite anxious. I don't know how many times Kaela told me to be sure & set my alarm so she could get up at 6:00. She even offered to set the alarm for me. Never mind that they don't leave until 7:30, they have their clothes laid out the night before and they eat breakfast at school. It takes them about all of 5 minutes to get ready. No telling these girls twice! I'd bought some basic school supplies, so this morning they went thru them and filled their school boxes & got out their back packs (Their ones from last year were still good, so didn't have to buy new ones! WOOHOO!)
The tradional first day of school picture. My babies! *sniffle*!! Kaela's going off to 3rd grade, and Kara off to 5th grade, her last year in grade school!! (another *sniffle*) Like another blogging friend mentioned, they should still be 3 & 5....not those grades!!
Now this daughter is a different story....*rolls eyes*
I tried to make her happy by reminding her that this was the first of the last days of school. It didn't help, she still rolled her eyes.
"WHY do we always have to take a picture, I hate school, It doesn't amuse me, (whatever we said), it's not a happy day,...........O.K.....Just PRETEND like you're a nice girl, o.k.?
*BROTHER*!!
Here's our Take 4, one is barely decent. O.K. Relyssa, you're done, this was the last time. THAT SHOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY! You're a SENIOR! AND you only have 1 semester left!!!
Oh yeah, and someday you're going to hate it that you had that kind of posture in pictures, trust me! :D
Our family still laughs when we look at the picture made on our son's first day of school at 16. He could pout like nobody else! His sister still likes to imitate his pout!
ReplyDeleteI can still remember having such butterflies in my stomach and not being able to sleep the night before. I hope the first day went well for everyone.
ReplyDeleteWon't it be fun to look back at those pictures in 20+ years. So fun! A week to go here.
ReplyDeleteAt least with taking enough pictures of Relyssa, you got a smile out of her! Kaela looks like she's ready to run to school! Glad we still have a couple weeks yet!
ReplyDeleteHope their days went well... I always loved school so I'm glad my kids do, too. I can only remember one first day of school photo with all of us in it, though, and that makes me sad. Keep taking those pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteSeems like it came on fast this year! We start next Monday and I think I'm ready, but not sure if the kids are!:) Hope they enjoy the year!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures:) They seem so little. You're homeschooling some this year also? So do some want to do go to "regular" school and some want to homeschool or do you make the decision?

ReplyDeleteThanks for responding in my comments. I tried to leave a comment in return but somewhere it was lost? I'll try again:) You are very sensitive to your children's individual needs. I have always hoped that if we are unable to continue on the homeschool route that there will be a small class waiting for them and you found just that:) Hope you all have a great school year!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the deleted comment...my second try posted twice:) :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this is Kara's last year in grade school. Where has the time gone. It seems like not that long ago when they were coming to Georgia to visit me and Kara was just getting ready to start kindergarten. Now Kyrie is starting preschool.
ReplyDeleteWow, I can really see Relyssa in Kara these days!
