First Day of School

My big school kids. That's right. In case you forgot, Annie joined the brothers this year. Oh my heart...


The growing bus stop. Six more aren't even present. Since we bombed them with water balloons at the end of the year, we served them breakfast to get them started off right this year!

The big girl was ALL SMILES, from the moment I woke her up and said, "Anna, time to get up for school." Her response, "YYYYYYYESSSSSS, Kindergarten!!!"
I, on the other hand, didn't fare so well all day long. A few tears at the bus, a few tears when leaving her classroom, and I was so proud of myself for holding it together....until the grocery store. I overheard a sweet little three year old tell her mom, "that's ok, momma, I love you!" and I just couldn't handle it. Sobs all the way through the cereal aisle, cookie isle, and condiment isle. I lost it again at check out. Let's hope for a better day for mommy tomorrow. Anna, on the other hand, is loving life!!
SERIOUSLY, time goes soooo quickly.

Poor Kass! It's tough, especially when they love it and you're the only one upset. Rugs pulled the same business on me. Good luck getting use to your alone time.

Breakfast at the bus stop? You ladies are some FUN moms! What a great idea. The kids look so cute.

I can't believe how old the kids look! Anna's piggie tails are adorable! I can't even begin to imagine Cam's first day of school it makes me sad just sitting here! At least when you were crying in the grocery store you didn't still live in Elkhorn so the checkout person could ask you "Mrs. McMillian what's wrong with you?" There's something to be said for a bigger city! :)
