First Day of School 2017

I usually am so sad to start school and leave summer behind but not this year! After the crazy boring summer we have had I was so excited to send the kids off to school and start rebuilding my life. Its amazing how behind you get when you sleep 16 hours a day. It helps that we are starting school early this year and we still have months of summer and swimming ahead of us. So its not really the end of fun quite yet.

Alice is starting full day kindergarten and has been counting down the days! She is so excited to meet new friends, eat lunch in the lunch room, and scoot to school with Scarlett and her cousins. She is not nervous at all and I am so happy about that. When I dropped her off she just ran right into her class and starting chatting away to the little boy next to her. She is so, so ready and so am I. I love that Alice is witty, sassy, super cuddly, and so gentle with little kids. She will be a great help when the baby comes.

Scarlett is off to second grade and is a little nervous because she has a boy teacher. But I told her she is super special because she has the only boy teacher in the entire school! I am sure she will do great this year and make so many new friends. Scarlett struggles in school a little but she is such a great student overall. She makes friends super easily, is go with the flow, follows all the rules, loves the structure, and is so easy to please. She is any teachers dream come true! And don't worry she had to buy an extra pencil box to keep in her back pack so when she finds treasures at school she has a place to put them...haha. This girls LOVES finding treasures!
