First Day of School


Oh how lovely was this morning!!!!!!!!  I love my girls more than life itself, but I am SO glad that school is in!  And so are they.  We switched schools this year and I wasn't 100% sure it was the right decision, but so far they have loved it.  They both got fabulous teachers and have made some really fun friends.  Hailey was getting really board at her previous school and wasn't enjoying it at all.  Every day this week I've been asking her what her favorite and least favorite part of school was, and yesterday she told me "I love all of it!  Every part is my favorite part, and there's only one worst part, not like my other school where there were tons of worst parts." 
 I asked her what the one worst part is and she said: 
timed tests. Who doesn't hate those!?  



Behold, the 2nd grader!
She is in love with her "shoulder bag".
(p.s. Joel was the photographer here, otherwise I would have more pictures of Hailey to show
... love you babes :)) 



Behold, the Kindergartner!
JoLynn has been SSSOOOO ready for Kindergarten!  She was so excited to start.  She wanted her hair to look like Fancy Nancy for the first day.  Are you jealous of those locks!?  I am. 
 JoLynn goes to 1/2 day K-garten in the afternoon, which I thought would be perfect so I could have some peace and quiet while Shae takes a nap, but of course Shae has now decided to completely phase out nap time... can't a girl get a break!?

 Does this girl look ready for Kindergarten or what!?  She was pretty bummed that Kindergartners aren't allowed to bring a backpack (isn't that weird!?) so she made sure to pick out an extra fancy folder.  (white dove perched on a psychedelic guitar with a rainbow background)  Peace out sister.

ANywho - super cute. You have the patience of a saint. Cause I can't stand the smell of my kids being outside at all in the heat - so they don't. And that is with out smelling like dog or dog water! :)

Lisa, Hailey and JoLynn look so darling in their new duds! Their hair looks so darling, too. The Lisa Frank folder is so....well, it's just so Lisa, as in Merrell Wagenman. That is just like something you would've picked out when you were "a little girl". Thanks for being such a great mom to our granddaughters!!
